re: #92 celticdragon

I try to keep an open mind. I resisted the whole notion of mindful meditation pain management for years, but it does seem to have validity. Whatever my training in science (geology is about as tangible as you can get…), I am aware that we can’t really explain just how our consciousness works to begin with. What about after death? I have no idea. We cannot prove that there are spirits or ghosts or such, but I am not going to say they are easily disproved either. It would be foolish presumption, in my view.

Well then, the limits of what we are willing to treat as serious theories are solely bounded by our imaginations. You don’t have to disprove something somebody made up; it’s incumbent on them to provide proof of it.
