Thanks for the back up lol i think i proved my point

I know this conversation is mildly out dated... but I would just like to point out and I could be wrong so don't "quote" me on it. From what I have noticed as far as the scientific approach is that people create a hypothesis on what they think could of been the reason for a certain experience, just like people who choose a spiritual approach. Both can be extremely believable depending on the person and there own personal beliefs. So its my opinion that scientific or spiritual people are not so different in the fact that they both hypothesize (spelling?) what they think is going on. We are all skeptics, people can be skeptical about the spiritual part while others are skeptical about the scientific side.

Just so we are clear. I never said I was an expert, no one can claim expert status in this field. I was just responding to your statement. I have no bones to pick with you, I just want you to understand being a skeptic is not a bad thing. I respect everyone's opinion, but that does not mean I cannot speak mine!

Mark: I don't know if your responding to my response to this whole convo but it wasnt meant to go towards anyone just a view on what a skeptic really is to me. No one is a specialist like you said I never put anything in my comment to say that any one was, so I hope I didn't make you think otherwise.

No, I was responding to ghostman50. Sorry about not being more specific.

as incredible as the WEB is a big problem is personal posts. Too many times arguments happen because of taking statements the wrong way because you can't see the posters face or get an instant answer.
