- As a scientist and a skeptic, I take this as a personal insult.
- Although I wasn't involved in the discussion so far, NOTHING has been said
- that could relate any of the speakers to Nazis. Please precise your
- accusations, or fuck the hell off.

- Here we go again. Could you please wake up for a minute (I know reality is
- harsh, but facing it once in a while is an healthy exercise).
- YOU HAVE TO PROVE YOUR CLAIMS, SCIENCE (whatever the entity could be -
- I prefer to refer to scientists) DOESN'T HAVE TO ( and for that matter cannot)
- DISPROVE THEM.

- Aside from the typical New Age crap you're so found of, could you please
- substanciate ONE of the "past lives experiences" you've witnessed ?
- Other than some vague recollection of events ?
-
- No you can't, and that's all this whole thing is about. On the contrary,
- numerous studies have shown that some "past lives memories" are nothing
- but childhood recollections, or pieces of imagination. This doesn't disprove
- your hypothesis, it simply warns us to be careful before jumping into
- the twilight zone.
