• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Emotional self-indulgence .. or more like over-indulgence(?)

setting that aside, it is remote viewing…


the only available of this topic

No John - you've raised two separate topics.

Post #1 talks about legitimate mainstream scientific computer modelling, by NASA, of a possible Venusian environment a billion or so years ago.

Post #2 is about a bunch of crackpots who claim to be able to visualize stuff from a billion+ years ago. This is not science. It's not even controversial science. It's superstitious rubbish.

If you accept a YouTube video as proof that these extravagant claims are real, you need to seriously question your own judgement.

There's no actual scientific evidence to show that this kind of out of body experience is possible, nor that the results are accurate.

And before you start accusing me of it, no, me pointing this out does not constitute a strawman on my part, since I am not misrepresenting your position. I am pointing out that your position is wrong.

Set that aside…

Why?

If your position needs to abandon reason and evidence in order to have any chance of being considered real, it seems to me that it's a fantasy. And if it's a fantasy, we might as well just make up whatever we want.
