Post Pseudoscience
Continuing our discussion from our religion discussion thread:
Do you believe in Pseudoscience or better:Do you believe something that is considered Pseudoscience (...Astrology, Parapsychology or Ufology...) to be science.
What do you consider to be science?

(I will edit this message soon to clear it up a bit)

I'm not saying anything before you clear it up, so we won't have to argue in vain. :roll:

Post Re: Pseudoscience
So do you believe in some of the following things (why, why not?)
-Telepathy
-Telekinesis
-Past or future lives
-Knowing the location of an object that is hidden or far away with mental powers
-Future Telling (knowing some events of past and future "supernaturally")
-Knowing the history of an object or person by touch
-Astrology (Destiny that can be seen from the position of certain planetary objects determines peoples personality and events in life)
-Aliens have visited earth (and/or) are among us (and/or) co-operate with governments in conspiracy (and/or) are trying to take over


What do you think science is and what is the role of metascience? Do you trust scientific knowledge?

-Telepathy-Maybe.. in some kind of my way. I think there can be some kind of connection between minds, but it is not as simple as most of people would describe it.
-Telekinesis-perhaps...but rather no than yes. I don't think the mental power should be mixed with physical.
-Past or future lives-DEFINITELY!!! Well, this can't be all we got! That's where I got a bit apart with religion, but I certainly do believe in reincarnation and stuff. The soul is something that remains. I am also into the theory of many parallel worlds around us, other dimensions and universes where we might end up after we die. I have also developed a bit complicated "my theory" on this subject.
-Knowing the location of an object that is hidden or far away with mental powers-no. Same description as at telekinesis. Objects are material, and mental power isn't, can't be connected!
-Future Telling (knowing some events of past and future "supernaturally")-reminds me of some stupid TV shows. :lol: NO!!! Future is also one thing difficult to explain and we're probably not meant to know it. Perhaps there really is something that is called "destiny" but we're not supposed to know it anyway.
-Knowing the history of an object or person by touch-no. But this did make me wonder, what do you think, if you were forced to believe in past lives, would anyone be able to understand, by his or her character, what was he/she in the past life, when he lived and so?
-Astrology (Destiny that can be seen from the position of certain planetary objects determines peoples personality and events in life)-that's just a bunch of junk. I mean considering destiny. There might be some things there that make sense (like someone's characteristics, depending on zodiac sign).
-Aliens have visited earth (and/or) are among us (and/or) co-operate with governments in conspiracy (and/or) are trying to take over-hahahah, hell no! :lol: Aliens definitely do exist, but they're too far away for such things!


What do you think science is and what is the role of metascience? Do you trust scientific knowledge? I do trust it, but I always leave some place in my mind, always to be able to say "you never know". 8-)

Well, you might have seen that I have a lot of "different" opinions on many things......I build my beliefs on my own conclusions, not already known things. So, what do you think about this all?
