Do you believe in mental abilities? Do you have any?

I'm confused as to your main point. Can you name something that empirically exists that is entirely outside of science?

This is the intelligent discussion forum, is it not? I feel I should be allowed to intelligently refute peoples' opinions in a thread on the intelligent discussion forum.

If you're not capable of refuting the points I make, or lack interest in doing so and would rather simply have a nice meandering circle-jerk in which everyone supports you and your opinions, then why did you post this in the forum that is labeled for 'intelligent discussion?' How are we to intelligently discuss anything if all dissent is labeled as useless or not responded to?

You are clearly blind and narrow-minded. The topic doesn't have to be empirically proved to fall into ''intelligent discussion''. Somethings exist beyond science and empirism. If not Social Sciences (despite the name they were given) would only be studied through the Positivism lens. There are other points of view that escape it. Historicism and The General Critic Theory (whatever is called in english) don't apply all these rules and hence that not always considered science ¬¬.
