I'm not sure if this thread has been made before or not, but i thought i would post it here since it's a belief by some people and something i think could be possible. So are Mutants real...are they out there?

I read a story a little while back that i wish i could find the article i read about it, but i can't find it. (still searching). It told about a girl who was is Ruissia. She seemed to have powers telekinesis, but until she was tested no one knew for sure. She was put into a room and asked questions, but soon she grew tired of it and then that's when things turned bad. She was reported throwing a chair across the room without
lifting a finger. When they got to her and grabed her arms to take her back to her quarters she threw a table across the room shattering the glass which was the view point for the doctors who i assume were taking notes. The report also said that the files disappeared and cannot be found that now only eye wittnesses are left to tell what happened.

So, do they exsist? If they do why should they hide? Wouldn't there be some who would band together and believe they are the evolved humans, the better beings of the planet such as the brotherhood in x-men? What do you think?

Darth Revan
I wish I had mutant powers.... sad

Mutants exist, since all life is the result of mutation. But X-men style mutation, no. That story is really weak, since all the purported evidence "disappeared" soon after the event supposedly took place. Eye witnesses don't count as evidence.

In any case, DNA isn't so powerful that it allows us to break the laws of physics.

thorncrawler
yeah i agree mutation does happen and there is "scientific" evidence but eye blasts and stuff nope

Here are brief outlines of some people who have demonstrated remarkable PK abilities:

Stanislawa Tomczyk. Born in Poland, Tomczyk came to the attention of investigators when it was reported that startling poltergeist-like activity occurred spontaneously around her. She could control some telekinetic feats, but only under hypnosis. In this hypnotic state, Tomczyk took on a personality that called itself "Little Stasia" who could levitate small objects when Tomczyk placed her hands on either side of them. In the early 1900s, one investigator, Julien Ochorowicz, watched these levitations at very close range and observed something like fine threads emanating from her palms and fingers, although they were examined carefully before the experiment. And it didn't seem to be a trick. "When the medium separates her hands," Ochorowicz observed, "the thread gets thinner and disappears; it gives the same sensation as a spider's web. If it is cut with scissors, its continuity is immediately restored." In 1910, Tomczyk was tested by a group of scientists at the Physical Laboratory in Warsaw where she produced remarkable physical phenomena under strict test conditions.

Nina Kulagina. One of the most celebrated and scrutinized psychics to claim psychokinetic powers was Nina Kulagina, a Russian woman who discovered her abilities while attempting to develop other psychic powers. Reportedly, she has demonstrated her powers by mentally moving a wide range of nonmagnetic objects, including matches, bread, large crystal bowls, clock pendulums, a cigar tube and a salt shaker among other things. Some of these demonstrations have been captured on film. The skeptics contend, of course, that her abilities would not stand up to scientific testing, and that she may be nothing more that a clever magician.

Uri Geller. Geller is one of the most well-known "psychics" who has publicly demonstrated feats of psychokinesis: spoon and key bending have become almost synonymous with Geller's name. Although many skeptics and magicians consider his metal-bending performances nothing more than adroit sleight-of-hand, Geller has allegedly shown that he can manifest the effects over great distances and in multiple locations. On a British radio show in 1973, after demonstrating key bending to the astonishment of the host, Geller invited the listening audience to participate. Just minutes later, phone calls began pouring into the radio station from listeners all over the UK reporting that knives, forks, spoons, keys and nails began to bend and twist spontaneously. Watches and clocks that had not run in years began to work. It was an event whose success surprised even Geller and thrust him into the spotlight

Wow very nice AOR. Now that's what i believe in. People who have powers such as those people. Everyone has these powers, but we just are not able to tap into them. We only use 5% of our brain they say if we just used 2% more we could hit the first marks of telekinesis. So maybe if we focus and work for it, a few years later we could possibly start moving objects...small objects mind you, but still who knows.

I don't believe stuff like that. It's easy to fake on film, and it's entirely possible that every one of the radio callers simply thought they saw the spoons/whatever bend and were mistaken. People also lie, especially when their claims are made over a purely auditory medium.

I also doubt that if there was really good evidence for any of these phenomena, more people wouldn't know about them. If, in a series of controlled scientific tests carried out by different individuals, somebody demonstrated that they could move stuff around by thinking about it, or read minds, or whatever, it would be pretty big news.

Edit: Btw, it's total bull that we only use 5% of our brains. Even if we didn't have ways of looking at brain activity, it makes no evolutionary sense that we would have this mass of tissue in our heads that was 95% useless.

I find much of this clearly brain candy, than actual truths. However just because the skeptic mind finds it hard to believe, doesn't mean we should throw away the idea entirely.

You seem to believe that the world would be all fine and dandy if all of a sudden science were to prove a certain "mutant gene" that allows the user the ability to warp reality. X-men, as fictional as it may be, shows a society that isn't far different then our own. Even the government, for both the safety and well being of the general public, would never publicise the discovery of a "tested gifted" person until they were positive that both the test subject and the people were safe. Even then, they would still be hesitant.

You say it's hard to prove a mutant ability, yet you disclaim the thought of use using (and it's actually 15% not 5) no more than 15% of our brains. Your very much correct in saying that we don't have the technology now to measure the brains activity. Where science is getting close, we aren't anywhere close yet. Which is what supports the theory. Science, which is completely dependant on the mind set of humans, can not even explain a thought. What is evident to science is existent, and what is not, isn't. However, just because we don't have the means to measure the brains activity, doesn't mean we know the brains activities. You disagree with the thought of 15% or 5%, so lets say we use 80%. Now 50 years, 100 years, a MILENIA later we come up with a device that measures the brain activity, and infact it is 15%. Does that mean that the brain activity is only 15% now? No, it's always been 15%. Just like you can't say (not you personally) "Mutant powers don't exsist because we don't have a means of testing them."


However you must know that my views of this are completely unbiased, and my ealier post was to help Vladarion. I believe that people are gifted, and there will come an age where we may be able to manipulate the physcial matter around us to fit our wishes. Whether it be the complete control of metal, or the increasing of molecular movement in a given place with a set direction of atoms (heat vision). Therefore I am patient and open to the possibility, but not a fanatic to immidiatly jump the band wagon...

And you fail to see that most scientist are tied into the government one way or another. There isn't a "this information is mine, and mine alone" system. But rather a network between scientist that share information. Not to mention research like this must require phenomenal funding. Such numbers aren't just "overlooked" by a government.

Here's your link. It neither disproves nor supports either of us, but it does give information in regards to percentage used and the brain in general...http://www.onelife.com/evolve/brain.html

The burden of proof is on the one making a positive claim, you.

Yeah, the natural position is skepticism. AOR if you believe that mutants exist you need to prove it.

I'm not claiming their real. If anything I would hold it on a high skeptism. All I'm saying is openness to the idea of mutants; Not all evidense is "crap"; And I doubt we use the majority of our brains.

The first one is opionated

The second two, more the last, is on personal experience then the actual facts. The burden of proof would be the actual going through every form of "evidense" and putting them aside in the designated category. Even on a side note, my credentials for perhaps an authentic piece of evidense wouldn't be the same as lets say Darth Revan. So in essence this has no end.

For possible reiteration (if not clarification):

I am neutral on the mutant issue (in reagrds to like x-men). However mutant in it's definition*, I do believe exists.

*A mutant (also known to early geneticists as a "monster"wink is an individual, organism, or new genetic character arising or resulting from an instance of mutation, which is a sudden structural change within the DNA of a gene or chromosome of an organism resulting in the creation of a new character or trait not found in the parental type. In an organism or individual, the new character or trait may or may not be trivial, may occasionally be beneficial, but will usually result in either a genetic disorder or have no phenotypic effect whatsoever. The natural occurrence of genetic mutants is integral to the process of evolution.

Occasionally, a body cell in a healthy organism may acquire a mutation caused by a genetic error occurring during routine cell division. Such an error may result in cancer.

IMO, both sides should be considered before drawing conclusions.

I doubt X-men-style mutants exist, though neither would I rule out, just on principle, the possibility of extraordinary development. The universe is a big place, but "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence."

Randi is able to duplicate these feats with illusionist/magician skills.

Mutants exist. Look at the albino kids. Their DNA was mutated. If you mean with powers that's way questionable since we have Marvels Xmen scaring the crap out of them with Homo sapien rejection.

To clear the whole mutant thing up: albinos and whatnot are not the only "mutants" in the human race. We're ALL mutants. Every organism on earth is the result of a series of genetic mutations. You really need to pay more attention in biology class.

I doubt there are mutants out there very much. I could probably believe that there are some humans who have some terrible diseases e.g. the Elephant man - for some reason I can imagine that being real as the human reaction towards him
As much as I would fancy the idea of a government secrety creating super mutants e.g. diclonius in Elfen Lied or X-men or psychics it seems a bit out of reach and if any had any kind of threat they would be wiped out pronto. But who knows maybe some country in this world who are planning to take over the world may have some horrific mutant breeding facility on some remote uninhabitied island

Stanislawa Tomczyk. Born in Poland, Tomczyk came to the attention of investigators when it was reported that startling poltergeist-like activity occurred spontaneously around her. She could control some telekinetic feats, but only under hypnosis. In this hypnotic state, Tomczyk took on a personality that called itself "Little Stasia" who could levitate small objects when Tomczyk placed her hands on either side of them. In the early 1900s, one investigator, Julien Ochorowicz, watched these levitations at very close range and observed something like fine threads emanating from her palms and fingers, although they were examined carefully before the experiment. And it didn't seem to be a trick. "When the medium separates her hands," Ochorowicz observed, "the thread gets thinner and disappears; it gives the same sensation as a spider's web. If it is cut with scissors, its continuity is immediately restored." In 1910, Tomczyk was tested by a group of scientists at the Physical Laboratory in Warsaw where she produced remarkable physical phenomena under strict test conditions.

Nina Kulagina. One of the most celebrated and scrutinized psychics to claim psychokinetic powers was Nina Kulagina, a Russian woman who discovered her abilities while attempting to develop other psychic powers. Reportedly, she has demonstrated her powers by mentally moving a wide range of nonmagnetic objects, including matches, bread, large crystal bowls, clock pendulums, a cigar tube and a salt shaker among other things. Some of these demonstrations have been captured on film. The skeptics contend, of course, that her abilities would not stand up to scientific testing, and that she may be nothing more that a clever magician.

Uri Geller. Geller is one of the most well-known "psychics" who has publicly demonstrated feats of psychokinesis: spoon and key bending have become almost synonymous with Geller's name. Although many skeptics and magicians consider his metal-bending performances nothing more than adroit sleight-of-hand, Geller has allegedly shown that he can manifest the effects over great distances and in multiple locations. On a British radio show in 1973, after demonstrating key bending to the astonishment of the host, Geller invited the listening audience to participate. Just minutes later, phone calls began pouring into the radio station from listeners all over the UK reporting that knives, forks, spoons, keys and nails began to bend and twist spontaneously. Watches and clocks that had not run in years began to work. It was an event whose success surprised even Geller and thrust him into the spotlight

laughing out loud I was really paying attention still i got the uri geller part .

I don't know much about the subject as respect to previous scientific data, but I do know that a book is out concerning whether or not someone like Bruce Banner could actually turn into the Hulk. The conclusive evidence is that scientifically as well as medically it is IMPOSSIBLE!!!!Now Hulk is not a mutant but he did undergoe a dramatic genetic transformation

Yes, they are. They live in the sewers.

Awwww c'mon! Marvel mutants? Well some like Beast, Logan or even Spider-Man might be possible but very unlikely. Mutants do exist, and there are lots of em, people with hair all over, people with extra somethings(limbs, eyes, organs etc.), people with really strong or weak muscles or bones etc.(you can see em all over, watch some Explorer or Discovery and you'll see em). But most mutations like laser eyes, shape shifting and stuff like that are impossible(or maybe a 1 in a bilion chance that it might be possible).
As for telekinessis and similar powers, I think are actually quite possible, too many claims for them not to be(I myself had mild magnetic "powers" when I was a kid, small metal things would stick to me). An all that bullshit about using 10% or 15% or 5%(has changed over the years apparently) of our brain is totally false, ~half of our brain is dedicated to the senses and emotions and stuff and the other half to memory, and the latter is the one that is used only in a small amount, kuz well we have to have room where to put all owr memoryes, also considering that most of our neurons die during the course of our lifetime.
Thanks for reading... The Endsmile

In which we find that true mutants are too busy controlling their powers to go to grammar school.

ugh, its like the past was only made such that it would produce a facepalm from me years later...

yes, to mutants.

random mutants in various individuals across the globe happen it's just majority of them are very harmful.

hair and skin pigmentation is a result of a genetic mutation.

added or missing chromosome not sure yet..mhmm

RE: Blaxican
Why is this in the ****ing philosophy section?

inimalist
because most people have no background in philosophy and think it means "any random question I might have"

though this one might fit, if barely, into natural philosophy... but that is a stretch

ADarksideJedi
I think they are just fairly tales.

0mega Spawn
they're are people who's skin can power light bulbs so yea

mutations occur naturally as two parents with different genetic codes create an amalgam of sorts.

physical/genetic abnormalities from the norm are just extremes of this, but not the least bit unnatural.

as for comic mutations sort of being represented in the real world, i can remember a few: aquatic, mermaid mutation sirenomelia is a sort of abdominal fusion that renders the individual with a single "whale/dolphin/seal tail", among other life threatening organ abnormalities; the rapid bone growth of the x-men mutant called "marrow", Osteogenesis. muscle tissues rapidly convert into bone instead of new, additional muscle fibers locking the body into a bony statue....i can't think of more atm big grin
