All your previous theories are based on some form of spiritual basis.

Of course they are. What's your point? I never stated anything different. They're spiritual beliefs.

It probably does matter to you ... 'Well the one that I have chosen to believe, after looking into it myself, is the one often expressed by Bill Hicks, Maynard throughout certain songs

.... also entertain the idea of reincarnation but'

What the hell are you blabbering about? It doesn't matter to me that I can't scientifically prove my theories, they're not scientific.

You do believe in those spiritual theories though don t you ? You stated that you did ....

I find it strange that someone who is clearly as intelligent, as you, would believe in something that hasn't been scientifically proved ....

And although it does 'not matter to you in the slightest', i chose to Quiote your post as i saw it as a good link to this thread.

Im sorry for posting !!!!!!!!!!

Of course I believe them. I have reason for believing them and not all things can be explained by science. If I was claiming they are provable, fair enough, but I'm not.

No A.C. .... I want you to explain

Try me, im not as stupid as I type !

Nothing to explain really. I said it because if I were trying to PROVE my beliefs, you'd be right to question me for proof. I'm not trying to prove them though.

And i wasn't criticising your beliefs, i was making a point relevent to your post. Therefore there was no need to jump down my throat was there ?

All is forgiven tho !

What? You raised the point of science, it wasn't relevant.

This thread is about spiritual theory, what is the point in a theory unless it is empirically tested !

SPIRITUAL theories not SCIENTIFIC theories.

I swear sometimes people on this forum depress me.

Repating yourself is not emphasising you're point .... its just making yourself look aggrivated, which is quite poor on an Internet forum IMO.

Many theologians such as Plato and Aquinas would disagree,

A theory is nothing more than a premise unless it is tested ....

My spiritual beliefs are just that, beliefs. They are what I believe based on information and studies that I deem reasonable and informative, added to what I had already been thinking about. I've said this to you about 5 times, are you simple?

Never had I stated that they were provable and they most CERTAINLY are not scientific. Your inability to understand everything I've said, however simple, is why I have to repeat myself.

Nobody here is interested in what's scientifically provable. It's about belief.

And this is why Religions fall down in the proof stakes, however they have that special extra thing - call it faith or just blind ignorance🙂 Against that Science can never prove said belief is wrong or untrue either.

It has nothing to do with ignorance. It's to do with it being a belief on something that can't be proven and isn't scientific.

Science is irrelevant here.

I said it could be called ignorant believing in something that has no tangible, quantifiable evidence. 🙂

Beware the Witch Doctor. Nope Science has no place in Religion as Bishop Usher would have said to Darwin, if we could have dragged them across time to meet.

My beliefs aren't religious, they're spiritual. I follow no set religion.

The same could be said for many Witch Doctors 🙂

In the field of transpersonal psychology, there is discussion about the nature of scientific method, of what constitutes proof, and whether or not these are applicable to the subject of "spirit." The discussion includes caution regarding scientism and category error, as well as the dangers inherent in a lack of healthy skepticism.

Science and religion (as opposed to scientism and religionism) may be closer than most people think.

Yup - the pseudo sciences always urge caution where real Science is concerned 😉
