Momopi,
But how do you explain cases like these? You didn't answer that. What's your explanation?

"3. A favorite example of yours?

Amanda, a young mother in Washington State, was awakened one night by a horrible dream. She dreamed that the chandelier in the next room had fallen from the ceiling onto her sleeping infant’s crib and crushed the baby. In the dream she saw a clock in the baby’s room that read 4:35, and that wind and rain were hammering the windows. Extremely upset, she awakened her husband and told him her dream. He said it was silly and to go back to sleep. But the dream was so frightening that Amanda went into the baby’s room and brought it back to bed with her. Soon she was awakened by a loud crash in the baby’s room. She rushed in to see that the chandelier had fallen and crushed the crib -- and that the clock in the room read 4:35, and that wind and rain were howling outside. Her dreampremonition was camera-like in detail, including the specific event, the precise time, and even a change in the weather."

1. I do not owe you an explination or an answer. Since I'm not paid for my time and effort, I only write replies at my leisure.

2. It's another foggy crystal ball with no replicable demonstration or evidence, which kicks off the bullsh*t detector.

3. It flunks the basic reproducibility principle of scientific method, which renders it useless and irrevelent even if the event is real.


If you don't understand point #3, this is what I told someone who believes in divine miracles: if you had cancer and the chance of a divine healing is 1 in 1,000,000,000 (billion) at random, what the hell is the "divine miracle" good for, other than church propaganda? You're going to end up in a real hospital anyway, just as the Pope did.
