I have seen it so many times. People who can't take in what they see,
confused so much by what they know.

I have heard it as "educated beyond capacity."

Drug companies went to jungles and asked old shamans what they used for
headaches, for diarrhea, for menstrual cramps, for sleeplessness.

The old ones took them to herbs and roots. When analyzed, they had some
ingredients that were helpful to the specific complaints. Kind of like
modern medicine poo poohing the ideas of acupuncture, acupressure, and
holistic medicines in favor of spendier brand name cures.

We are all hard wired. When we go against instincts, things we can see, and
instead go for things we have been indoctrinated in, there can only be
conflict.

I turn on the switch. The light comes on. Do I need to fully understand
the process?

I doubt that two wires moving with relationship to an electromagnetic field,
or some other measurable force would be considered paranormal.

How does the water guy come out with a device and find lines?

Look. It's simple. It's free. It works.

If that's not good enough, let your fingers do the walking.

Here is a snip from the above site:

To put it simply, the ideo-motor reflex is the same thing that makes dowsers
believe that they are actually divining. Although you BELIEVE that you are
not influencing the movement of the yo-yo, you actually ARE, though you are
entirely unconscious of it. The only way to prove that you are not
physically influencing the yo-yo, would be for you to NOT hold the yo-yo
string.

Nobody has ever successfully demonstrated dowsing under controlled
conditions ... and nobody ever will ... it is just horsepucky.

But, assay the responses in this thread. It is alarming that science is so
ill understood in these times. The dark ages are coming back.

Thanks for the link Bud and for the ONLY reasoned response. Scary!

It really looks like that sometimes, considering the garbage seen in
so many posts. I was thinking of posting a link, but I see Bud already
did.

I seemed to have already learned BS detection by the age of 5. I still
don't understand why so few have.
