There is no reliable evidence that any human being has psychic abilities.  If you do claim to have pschic abilities, why don't you take the James Raido $1 Million Paranormal Challenge?

I don't think this is something you can persue unless you have psychic ability. Now this is assuming that people like John Edwards are legitimate psychics and not total scammers.

Yes, but it clearly was not based on extrasensory knowledge. A skilled psychic knows how to work off of cues you give off, such as your manner and dress. The psychic then will start with general statements, such as "I see boulders," then might ask you if that's correct. You then give the psychic more information which is fed back to you. It's all done subtly enough that you may not know you have been "had," especially if you want to believe. Scientific evidence simply does not support psychic claims.

I believe there are psychics who are genuine, but I'm sure 99.9% of the people claiming to be psychic are just trying to make a buck.\nThere are proven cases of psychics who have helped others, but they are few and far between.

Wow i don't know what to believe, but like to keep an open mind.  How did oyur professor's friend get hold of the gold bananas?\n\nSounds weird but i think it's a sort of test, you know bad spirits and all that like when they discovered tutankamun's tomb....i certainly wouldn't have kept hold of them if they do exist!

I think they do exist... but I wouldn't trust one who charges.  A friend of mine died 5 years ago.  2 days before he died we went to have dinner with the president of his father's company a (good friend of him).  Days after he died ANOTHER friend of mine (who's kind of a psychic) told me he talked to him, that he told him he owed someone some money that he wanted to pay back.  Months later I see the president of the company, and he tells me that during that dinner 2 days before my friend died, he had told him he owed someone money but never said who... My dead friend and my psychic friend NEVER talked to each other while he was alive.  I believe in psychics, but would never trust one who charges you for it.

Yes, these things have been widely scientifically tested.\n\nOver a period of more than 20 years, the CIA and Pentagon spent approximately $20 million to study and employ numerous "psychics." They were supposed to help track down terrorists, find hostages, help anti-drug activities, etc. Experiments were conducted on precognition, clairvoyance, and remote viewing.\n\nThe "psychics" were accurate about 15% of the time when they were helping the CIA.   Fifteeen percent?  Is this supposed to convince us to pay them to help the United States government?  Utts says she thinks "they would be effective if used in conjunction with other intelligence." My intelligence tells me that 15% accuracy isn't much help no matter what it's used in conjunction with--that's an 85% failure rate! So 85% of the time, spies would be wasting their time and resources on incorrect information. We're supposed to be happy with that? And that's presuming she's right about the 15%.\n\nThe results have always been the same: psychic phenomena achieve the same results as random guesses.\n\nWhat that means is that they don't exist. People who call themselves psychics are either deluded and simply guessing, or more often they are charlatans like John Edward who try to take people's money by pretending to be psychic,

No, I don't believe in them, but I enjoy reading them and don't have anything against them.\n\nI work at a college university and there's a guy they call Preacher Bob that is always outside by the library preaching his thoughts to people.  His main preaching is against gay people.\n\nAnyway, I happened to see him at a chinese restaraunt the night before.  Too my surprise, when I walked outside he was preaching about his experience there.\n\nHe said that he went to enjoy a meal and the waiter brought him fortune cookies.  He said, "take that witchcraft away from me" and went on to say how terrible fortune cookies and horoscopes were.  They were evil witchcraft.\n\nHis wife reminded him that the fortune cookies had lucky numbers for the lottery.  He went on to say, yes you use these numbers in the casinos.  Have you noticed that the word casino has the word SIN right in the middle of it?  \n\nI just wanted to say CHILL.  If you are that offended just decline the fortune cookies instead of going off ranting and raving.  I personally think he's a space case.  If fortune cookies offend him so much I can just imagine his ranting and raving over other things.

Ummmmm NO! Sounds like it can be a hoax.

From what I've read it sounds like he did it on a bet.  That he could make up a religion and get rich from it.  He succeeded.  He must have been on drugs when he came up with this junk.  Not only that those that follow it like some movie stars *cough*Tom Cruise*cough*  need their heads examined cause something isn't right somewhere to believe we are possessed by aliens and earth was an alien prison planet.  They have wonderful meds now for delusions like that!

I've heard of him.  I also heard a guy who thought robot aliens were running the NBA and IRS.\n\nPeople put out some interesting ideas, it'd be hilarious if it were true, but could you imagine how many people would have to keep their mouths shut so that no one ever found out?  Too d*mn many.

i'm right with you there. it's crazy how he does some of that stuff. i would really loveeee to go see one of his live shows! i remember watching a show once and he said that some of the things are tricks and some are real... he likes to keep people wondering about it.

Yeah, I've seen him and I don't think he's a damn bit funny.  \nThe original "What should I do retard"  had the same problem, he had 5 clones.\nI don't see why they can't come up with their own ID instead of using someone else's.

Actually, the person who responded previously is wrong.   There is evidence which suggests there is something to psychic or intuitive power. They often help detectives in murder cases where there are no leads, which is a good thing.   \nStudies of the top psychics under impartial scientific analysis have shown that they DO get it right more often then their non-psychic counterparts, but it doesn't mean they ALWAYS get it right, just more often then the rest of us.     So much so that even our own government wanted to use those who had psychic power as spys, I think they call it remote viewing? anyway they cancelled the project because it was too unreliable. UNRELIABLE, not fake or untrue, they didn't deny there was something there, they just couldn't control it and rely on it for accurate information. the government obviously knew there was an amount of "psychic power" or else they would have never started a project like that in the first place. \n Do they talk to dead people? I don't know, I think many of them are mind readers. There is a lot more to what meets the eye than many of us are willing to admit.  People who are religious of course call anything which is mystical and outside the barriers of organized religion demonic.  \nHundreds of years ago, if you told someone they get sick because there are microscopic "bugs" that get into our bodies through our breath and multiply, they would accuse you of being a heritic or maybe a witch, you cohort with demons, because it is the devil which makes them sick or whatever other ignorant barbarism they attributed to illness.  \nBut it was a fact that applies now as it did then: just because you can't see something with the naked eye does not mean it's not there.  \n It is human nature to say when we don't understand something which is a mystery that it is totally fake or it is demonic.   I don't think it is either. I think it is somewhere in between the material world we see and the world or worlds which we can not.

I'm not ignorant, that's why I know psychics are fake.  \n\nIf you've really got the gift, contact james randi, http://www.randi.org  he's got a Million dollar check he's been trying to give away fro 30 years to ANYbody that can prove they are supernatural. \n\nI know I know, you're above mere material things, but think of all the hungry mouths you can feed with that dough!\n\n\nOh, I read what you said, that's why the first sentence was worded the way it was.  I just ignored it (can you spell "ignored"?) because what you said was lame.  \n\nHe want's the preliminary because he has to have a filter for all the phonies and ametures he gets.  If you can fool the preliminaries, then you're ready for his tests.  He's been practicing these things for decades and knows every single trick in the book, and 1000's of others that aren't in the book.  \n\n\nHey, if you've got the gift, then goto the hospital and cure all of those cancer and AIDS patients.\n\n\nBTW, before calling someone ignorant and illiterate, it would behoove you to learn some proper grammar.\n\nAnd the psychic charlitans that take money from sick and dying people and their families for these ridiculous false hopes are among the most vile scum on the Earth.

Any psychic resorting to those tactics is a phony.\n\nYou need to remove yourself from their email list to stop the spam emails.\n\nThere are much better ways of finding good psychic advice.
