It seems that some people are completely certain that telepathy exists but there is always an excuse why no one can prove it...
Only a maniac is 'completely certain' about anything!
I am not certain through belief, my knowledge is experiential. Telepathy is as common to me in my everyday life as sucking wind is in yours. My words are not born of hypothesis and extrapolation, they are accurate descriptors of my daily life.
Did you not read or understand my previous post about 'evidence'?
Ok, let me try this another way.
Imagine that I have a leg missing.Gone from the knee down.
You are sitting 5 meters from where I am sitting.
We have not seen each other as the room has been dark since our entry.
You are blindfolded.
the light is turned on.
I tell you that I have my leg missing.
You ask me to prove it.
You want to 'smell' it gone.
As your nose is incapable of the transmission of this data, your sense of smell is incapable of providing 'evidence' of that which is directly before it.
Get where I'm going here. It isn't difficult if you try...
I respond, sir, remove your blindfold that you may see that which is before you!
You reply, "I, sir, shall not as I have a very fine nose and olfactory sense in general. Beneath it the bouquet of many fine flavors have appreciateively trod! And, sir, this finely tuned proboscis can detect no reality in your claim of leglessness!"
Capisce'?
Perhaps you wish to use your sense of touch?
From 5 meters away, though I be well beyond range, you know of the fine services that your delicate sense of touch is capable of rendering.
Stop me if you are understanding what I am saying.
Have you no machine to help you understand? Some equation?
There are many flavors of evidence, even within science. To insist on that which you insist denotes the same blind 'faith', simple 'belief', that any zealous fundamentalist exhibits when he refuses to even recognise the simplist scientific principle right before his eyes. Your fundamentalism is no better because it is called 'empiricism' then the fundamnentalism of any other religion.
Unclench your Mind!
