Originally posted by karoly aczelI repeat, it isn't 'proof' in any way, shape or form. It is unsubstantiated third party opinion. You are telling us that somebody else told you something but we have no way of checking up on that person. So we are not even relying on your word, we are relying on your word that somebody elses word is accurate. You have shown in the past that you will pass on as fact just about anything that you hear from other people even when you know yourself that it is not something sensible.
No amount of this kind of proof will change a closed mind.
Your answer reflects a closed mind.
No it doesn't. An open minded person is not someone who believes everything they hear regardless of what it is, thats a weak mind not an open mind. It is possible to be open minded and skeptical.
Now , what is it that we are talking about? something outside of ourselves?
No, you claimed that 1000 people saw a UFO above new York and that that is somehow proof of something. You don't even seem to know what 'UFO' stands for.
It would take an open, initiated mind to have a decent take on this.
Now you are changing the conditions. You are saying 'initiated'. In other words, someone who has other information regarding the phenomena in question. I fully admit that I do not have such information and thus am not 'initiated'. But that does not logically lead to the conclusion that I do not have an open mind.
