A serious comment or a dig/wind up ? I'm not sure, and as I've stated elsewhere, I don't expect anyone to have to believe what I do, and I certainly don't care about having to prove anything to them. I don't, and as for name calling, please! Arrogant ? I think it's arrogant to constantly expect someone to justify their own world view to your own personal satisfaction, or not.

Well I've told you it was a serious comment, and I've even explained it. It's up to you if you wish to carry on viewing it as something else.

If you don't care, then why are you still engaged in this discussion?

I don't think anyone would be expecting you to justify your world view if you weren't presenting it as fact. I'm not sure how it can remotely be classed as "arrogant" to expect evidence or proof of a thing, if you're presenting it as a "fact"? A good few of us here are open-minded to some of your beliefs (dowsing being a case in point), yet you keep calling us "arrogant". You're the one who is adopting an absolute position, refusing to consider the possibility that he might be wrong, so to accuse anyone else of arrogance is just.... odd?


I'm engaged in this discussion because I'm responding to comments, and as for an absolutist position I've said time and time again that I'm 100% convinced in my opinions. I don't see the problem with that, just as I don't have a problem if you or anyone took the position that I'm equally wrong. I do think it is rather arrogant to persistently expect someone to prove themselves to the satisfaction of another person's viewpoint. It doesn't matter. Discussion should allow opposing views without this continual onus on evidence/proof, especially in such diverse and fringe areas eg. the 'paranormal' v current scientific theory.
