If someone walks up to you with a box, and they say to you "I have God inside this box" and you ask him to show it to you and he says no, would you be skeptical?
1) i know you didnt mean it like this, but its rather obvious to me "God" (if by "God" we are referring to the creative force of the universe) is inside the box. God HAS to be inside the box because nothing in creation is separate from the creator, as being separate from the creator would negate your very existence.
2) as to your question as it was originally intended, those kind of scenarios are interesting to me, so if someone said that i would be inclined to ask a couple follow up questions about their supposed "god in a box" to satisfy my curiosity, but as soon as the convo gets dull id probably walk away.
The man made his claims. Western scientists took him at his and the doctor's word and wanted to replicate the study under their own control, and both times it was denied.
1) it's best to stay in a suspended state of judgment though, thats all im saying. you gain nothing leaping to an assertion that you are unsure of.
but you do lose something- the ability to unbiasedly judge any information dealing with that topic that will come after that. because as you probably know, once you fully adopt a belief in your mind, your brain literally starts rewiring itself to cater to that belief.
2) if you really want to be honest about providing evidence to form conclusions, where is your evidence anything in the article is true at all? aren't you just parroting someone else's opinion and parading it around as your own calling it a "fact," when in reality you have no idea if the events unfolded that way at all. in fact you cant even prove an event took place.
i know thats an extreme example but im just playing devils advocate.
Also, simple biology would say that such a feat is impossible. So, if you are claiming to do the impossible, people should be skeptical
it's definitely a metaphysical conversation.
So do you think that someone could live on nothing but sunlight and water as long as they started young enough?
short answer, yes. but it would depend on many other variables both physical and non-physical.
Leyet breh do you understand how muscles work? Heck nevermind moving your muscles, your brain is a hog for glucose. You can't think without it
i understand from a scientific perspective this makes absolutely no sense and seems impossible. and im not here to argue this scientifically, at all. because when it comes to the source of the electricity that runs the human body we are all dealing in theories, the science community included. no one's quite figured out where all this energy comes from yet.
if you keep asking why enough times, and the eventual answer is either " i don't know" or "thats just the way it is," then you dont have a definitive answer. and if you dont have a definite answer then you should not make a definitive judgement.
No it isn't. All it will lead to is dehydration and hunger induced mania. Eat when you're hungry, eat enough until you're satisfied.
the good practice i was referring to was the sungazing at sunrise and sunset.
oh well at least i got a sig from this thread
at the backpedaling.
at my liver.
What is that from?
