    It doesn’t matter whether you believe in it or not. What does scientific testing and evidence tell us? Does it stand up to solid critical analysis?

    Spoiler alert - don’t believe in anything.

    Some people undoubtedly have psychic abilities but most who claim they have these abilities and charge money for their services are charlatans.

    What does belief have to do with it?

    They are fake regardless of your beliefs.

    If psychics, mediums, soothsayers etc. were real, they could do so much good in the world. They could predict plane crashes, for example, and warn the airline before the plane takes off. Instead, they pick "soft targets" - vulnerable people - knowing that wishful thinking and confirmation bias are powerful psychological traits.

    I see it in religions too e.g. the Church of Scientology makes claims that are firmly in the realm of the supernatural e.g. complete an expensive course and you will enjoy complete mastery over space and time ... :rolleyes:

    Government resting upon the will and universal suffrage of the people has no anchorage except in the people's intelligence.

    I agree with most of the things in this post except the 500,000,000 years. The dinosaurs died out around 65,000,000 years ago. There definitely weren't any humans 500,000,000 years ago. Otherwise, I agree.

    What were the ancestors of humans though? And their ancestors? We were all living in trees at one point, and before that we were living in burrows, and before that we were swimming in the sea...

    Think about it...
