a prayer to nonlocality.

My statement stands, pal.

That's the point, bob. If it's still "standing" then it's "standing" on a pile of the soft stuff.

[bobevenson]

"Ad hominem"? What are you talking about, bob?

All I asked was how you know prayer is bunk. You said you knew that. Surely you know on evidence, right? So if I assume you're a reasonable person, then you have evidence; but you're not supplying it, so I can only conclude you're "dodging."

No ad hominem implication needed or intended. I'm going on the evidence you've supplied. If you think I've done you an injustice, prove me wrong: it's easy -- just give the evidence you've been holding out.

I will wait.

You said. "Still waiting for your proof that prayer doesn't work. The rest is apparently just artful dodging." The "artful dodging" comment is an ad hominem attack. Again, asking for proof that prayer isn't bunk is like asking for proof of how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.

If you don't think religion is a Barnum and Bailey world, just as phony as it can be, you've led a very sheltered life, my friend.

If it is any consolation Bob, I think your ad hominem is better

I don't generally make ad hominem attacks, my friend, like the rest of you fools (as an example, when have any of you idiots ever made a constructive criticism of "The Ouzo Prophecy"? Answer: Never. Since none of you ever present an actual argument, there is nothing else for me to attack.

Thank goodness for that. For a moment there I thought you were making a personal attack on the people that post here.

Yes, I know you did. It's called post festum

I apologize that in my original post I forgot I was dealing with swine instead of polite society.

I guess you are including me as one of those swine as well.

It doesn't really matter if you do or you don't. You are obviously very unhappy with the responses you receive from the community of posters. This being the case i don't see why you continue to "cast your pearls before swine." Wouldn't it be better to find a website or forum that appreciates your efforts?

I am not offend even if it turns out you are calling me names. All it does is make me a little reluctant to reply to your comments. I don't want to run the risk of getting a tirade.

[bobevenson]

I'm just joking, don't take everything so seriously!

Still waiting, bob.

Assuming you are suffering from some form of ocular disintegration, I'll repeat my earlier reply in larger type:

"Again, asking for proof that prayer isn't bunk is like asking for proof of how many angels can dance on the head of a pin."

Another way of saying this is to say that you cannot disprove and unprovable hypothesis.
