Ihlaoy, how do you know it doesn't exist? You only know what you have experienced as a fact. Science doesn't prove everything. Everything science "proves" is just a theory, says it in the scientific theory. So, why don't you try it instead of being close minded and knocking it? Just saying.

I know it doesn't exist because no one has ever proved it exists. You may as well try to sell me that teapot that floats around between Mercury and the Sun.
That makes no sense. I wasn't alive during World War 1, does that mean it never happened? I've never been to America, does that mean it doesn't exist? What about polar bears, I've never seen them. It's entirely possible to know something without experiencing it first-hand. Sure, it's possible the internet is lying to you and polar bears don't actually exist, but if I see them in real life, how do I know someone didn't just paint Brown Bears white?
Oh, don't give me that tripe. Not everything science proves is a theory. Newton's Laws of Motion, for example, are scientific laws. Einstein's E=mc2 is a scientific law. Science is filled with laws.
The difference between a law and a theory is that a law has never, and will never, have an exception. All the facts are in, the data is crunched, the numbers have run; a law will always happen. An object at rest will stay at rest.
And I hate how you assume I haven't already tried it. Psychics are promising the power to read someone's mind, you'd have to be stupid to not give it a shot.
Of course, once it doesn't work, and you start asking for evidence it ever did, suddenly you're 'close minded.' -
1 million dollars isnt really incredibly rich....

Ah, you're normal. You believe what your told. You believe cells are real, though you've never seen them. You'd be stupid not to believe what science tells you. However, things such as evolution and the Big Bang are unproven theories, as are many. Many don't believe it- why- because of what religion tells them. Whatever someone believes influences them greatly.
Physics and psionics are very different. If you would try psionics, you'd find with practice it works. You can say I'm a liar- but I'd have no reason to claim something that I knew was a lie. It would be worthless to lie for the point of a debate.
Here are a few questions-
Do you believe in energy?
If so, don't you think that your mind would be able to capture your own energy and harvest it?
You see, whatever you believe might as well be reality. If you believe in energy- a science proven concept- why would human's not be able to take their energy and use it to their own will? -
Umm... I own a microscope. I've seen cells. I can understand not believing in evolution, but cells? Cells exist in every life form on Earth, and all you need to see them is a microscope. Furthermore, whether or not someone believes in something doesn't mean it doesn't exist / didn't happen. Even if someone denied, say, gravity, that wouldn't change the fact that gravity existed. And what does any of this have to do with the supernatural? Are you trying to imply that I don't believe in the supernatural because I don't want to believe in it?
I'm not saying you're a liar, just that you have no evidence. See, the difference between physics and psionics is that physics is demonstrable. There are literally millions of different studies and thesis' dating back millions of years proving everything we know about physics to be right. Where are the studies on psionics that prove the same? Where's the blind test to expand on our knowledge of chakras? They just don't exist, you have no feet to argue on.
1. You'd have to define energy. Do you mean light energy? Mechanical? Heat? Kinetic? Or do you mean some kind of undiscovered, spiritual energy of which there is no way to test? Grouping all these together is like saying we'll find a cure for cancer, without realizing that cancer is just a description for a group.
2. This question just doesn't even make sense. What do you mean 'own energy?' What do you mean 'harvest?' What do you mean 'capture?' None of these make sense in the way you're using them.
Quick lesson here, your body absorbs chemical energy through food, which it breaks down in the stomach through a system of enzymes and acids. The food is broken down into glucose, which is then absorbed into the blood stream. Blood then transports the glucose to the cells in the body, which convert the glucose's chemical energy into electrical or heat or whatever cells use, and this in turn allows the body to survive another day.
Notice; the body doesn't produce it's own energy.
And finally, no, regardless of what you believe, reality is reality. It will remain the same no matter what you believe it to be. This isn't 40K, you're not an Ork. -
Slim, it is to some people, I know what you mean though, I don't think of it as incredibly rich anymore. I always think if you had 1 million dollars and could call yourself a millionaire you wouldn't be able to spend any of it without losing the title xD and you'd soon have only hundreds of thousands

You must take me for an idiot. I KNOW HOW SCIENCE WORKS. I love science, in fact. And I didn't say I don't believe in cells, I just don't know that they exist for A FACT. I haven't seen them, I don't have a powerful enough microscope. I believe in science, but I also believe in God and psionics. And, just because science can't prove something, doesn't mean it's not true. Science can't prove the big bang, that doesn't mean it's not true.
-
actually evolution has been a proven theory in some cases
ehhh should go now /poofs/ -
just because science can't prove something, doesn't mean it's not true.
True, very true. For all I know, psionics might be real. Maybe we just don't have the right machine to measure brain activity. After all, 200 years ago we didn't have the technology to view diseases.
But we're not talking about some more advanced future. Right now, in the year 2015, there has been no, none anecdotal, evidence to suggest the supernatural exists. None. Every single test ever run on ghosts, psychics, mediums and clowns has been negative. Every. Single. One.
We can't say for sure if X exists or not, but we can run tests on moments were X should occur, or test X under conditions where it should occur. And if nothing happens, we can safely assume X doesn't exist.
But I wanna take a step back for a moment.
What do you mean 'own energy?' What do you mean 'harvest?' What do you mean 'capture?
Can you answer this? -
I've not heard of any tests on these things. How many have there been? Its probably a very small number compared to mainstream science.
-
Alright. We all have physical energy, kinetic energy. In a way, we control it. Why can't we consciously control it? After all, a good portion of the mind is unknown to scientists, so who is to say what that portion is capable of?
I agree lions~ -
Also, if these things aren't well known it makes sense why any tests have so far failed. Compared to something that's everywhere like cells that can be studied easily.
-
What do you mean a good portion of our mimd is unknown to science? I call bulls---
-
Well, it is cranking with undiscovered activity every day. Not that it's entirely unknown.
-
If you mean we're still studying and learning new things about how the brain, you're right. If you think we know so little that theres a significant potential to discover something that completely goes against modern biology and thermodynamics then you maybe havnt learned enough yet
