There you go tempest.;)

Lucianarchy and his "I am an open minded sceptic" claims are extremely funny.

An open-minded sceptic who believes the CIA, FBI, MI5 (and no doubt Mossad and the Mafia) all read his predictions with great interest and act on it. And when his predictions don't come true then they are 'reverse predictions'.

Okay we all know Luci is just having a laugh, but what worries me is that some of the people on the Gost forum will start quoting Luci as evidence. This is how these stupid stories keep circulating.

There are some nutting people over there including one guy who decided that:
If we are to believe evrything sience tells us then that mean we dont exsist as there is only about a 0.85% of life exsisting anywere in space but yet we are here.
Where did he get this from? As far as I knew there is a 100% cetainty that life consists in the universe.
The odds of life existing elsewhere are extremely controversial and usualy analysed using the Drake equation which can be used to show either pro or con- extraterrestrial life.

I see that Ghosts Uk has
2905 threads and 32658 posts

JREF has
28544 threads and 758294 posts.

but Jref has only 3510 members compared to Ghosts Uk's massive 5577 'Active Registered members'

I wonder just how many of Ghosts Uk members are in the spirit world ?

Hi Ashles nice to see you on Ghosts UK! Luci also popped up on the MIa Dolan site -before its sad demise lol-to spread his wisdom.You are right,the members of G UK will see him as their messiah;but when you have one who has Van Praagh as his fav. medium what hope is there for them anyway.But I seriously debunked a reading of VP's he listed! Not that he will think any different.:)

I seem to remember that this has a name (the principle that no matter how improbable an event is, if we would only ever be aware of the successful occurance it becomes meaningless). Anyone know what it is?

Like the statement that there is a 1 in 6 billion chance that my mother is my mother, 1 in 6 billion that my father is my father, and therefore only a 1 in 36 billion billion chance that they met and produced me. Wow, and people claim those odds aren't a sign of external intervention?

I've got an account there but the forum softwear they use is a pain the neck.

Hi Ashles nice to see you on Ghosts UK!
I went over there, only had the chance to post once, and already the thread is deleted.

They are so thin skinned it's quite shocking.

Cover eyes, close ears, delete threads and maybe the nasty logical arguments will just go away. ..

In cosmology, the Weak Anthropic Principle.

Too true,the Log in feature times out and the pages run in reverse when you make a post.;)

Thank you, that was what I was thinking about. (I had remembered it as 'anthropomorphic', but knew that couldn't be correct)
