That doesn't really make sense. Sareitha Sedai Send a noteboard - 21/12/2011 03:04:23 PM
I didn't immediately associate my dream with the event, that's all. I was very cognizant that I had had the dream, and that I had told my friends about it and said it was one of those dreams that had the particular feel that it would come true.

I was just on the verge of conceding that I had been wrong, that the entire means by which I assessed if a dream had elements of prediction in it was wrong, and that the previous seven or eight such dreams were just a long line of coincidences.


Despite believing that your dreams have some sort of supernatural predictive value, you didn't associate a dream (that you were expecting to be predictive) about a plane floating down the river with an actual plane in that actual river a few months later?

And frankly, you're changing your story. You said, "When the "Miracle on the Hudson" happened, I had forgotten about the dream but my friends quickly reminded me" (emphasis mine). That's a pretty clear statement that contradicts what what you're claiming to have meant now. But I'm not going to argue the point with you. Neither version really makes a lot of sense, and I don't expect you to accept the version that allows for the possibility of confirmation bias.

Kim Jong-il is dead. Would you become a fervent believer? - 19/12/2011 03:37:28 AM 1581 Views
If I was a Christian, I'd pray that he would burn forever in hell. - 19/12/2011 03:47:52 AM 991 Views

I agree about atheism - 19/12/2011 04:19:02 AM 812 Views
It's an approximation. - 19/12/2011 05:40:05 PM 840 Views
no, I'm not saying that the sheer number of people alone is sufficient - 19/12/2011 10:13:09 PM 728 Views

No, Pascal's Wager is stupid. - 19/12/2011 03:09:42 PM 819 Views
You obviously misread my comments or ignored them. - 19/12/2011 03:39:59 PM 834 Views
You're answering a different point to the one I was addressing. - 19/12/2011 04:01:54 PM 750 Views
For atheism to be a tenable position, one must assume that millions lie about their experiences. - 20/12/2011 04:11:53 AM 833 Views
Look, doesn't this go against your most sacred principle? - 20/12/2011 06:43:27 AM 804 Views
I'm pretty sure he's not saying it's undeniable proof. - 20/12/2011 09:19:44 AM 756 Views
No, it doesn't. - 20/12/2011 08:30:55 PM 718 Views

This militant atheism is somewhat amusing. - 20/12/2011 09:48:57 PM 784 Views
... somewhat irrational at times too - 21/12/2011 01:22:54 AM 699 Views
Huh? - 21/12/2011 10:47:06 AM 745 Views
That's somewhat unrelated to the intended point of the post - 21/12/2011 12:41:49 PM 750 Views
My "Huh?" was at your claim that any reasonable definition Kim Jong-il was a millitant athiest - 21/12/2011 12:58:44 PM 740 Views
You're objecting to me calling the Military Dictator militant? - 21/12/2011 03:13:35 PM 782 Views
Is that the long way of saying you can't back up what you said? - 21/12/2011 04:06:06 PM 711 Views
Okay - 21/12/2011 05:03:07 PM 803 Views
Your position isn't rational nor logical - 20/12/2011 12:45:03 PM 771 Views
How about a faith atheist? - 19/12/2011 04:28:59 PM 886 Views

Idiocy. Confirmation bias doesn't explain away external phenomena. - 20/12/2011 04:19:10 AM 824 Views
Well. - 21/12/2011 01:49:36 PM 726 Views
I didn't forget about it. I was getting ready to give up on it. - 21/12/2011 02:27:18 PM 693 Views
That doesn't really make sense. - 21/12/2011 03:04:23 PM 626 Views
No, it does make perfect sense. - 21/12/2011 06:17:02 PM 767 Views
