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

You may say that mental abilities lack the evidence to be true. But I say you lack the evidence to prove that it isn't true.

You're the person asserting that they exist. Where's your proof that is reliably tested, and not message-board postings or third-party anecdotal evidence? The person saying 'x exists' is the one who shoulders the burden of proof. I assert that x does not exist, based on lack of evidence.

But hey, say we're going with your ridiculous voodoo logic. Where do you draw the line? Do you say that for certainty aliens don't live on the inside of the moon, aliens that are made of fiberglass insulation and speak with the voice of Robert De Niro? Or do you say that since I can't prove they don't, you're open to the possibility?

What makes you think that mental abilities exist and fiberglass moon-men with Robert De Niro voices don't? Or do you think the fiberglass moon-men exist? In which case I can only say that you need to think just a little bit more closely about what is and what is not possible, and why what is not possible is not possible, and then get back to me.
