Hey LAMA, get rid of the striking robes and see if you can find that ball in the 10,000 foot crevice....just might get a tip

Nah, that's not my job.

Indeed hilarious.
Ted Knight did a great job as a looney judge.
He's a Cinderella boy.

The flowing robes, the grace... striking.

Any young boys sucking on that tongue?
I don't get the reference. We'd been quoting caddy shack.

The robes reminded me of the Dalai Lama's.
lol, humans are such humans.
Hard to believe religions have lasted so long... theism is fine, but human institutions as supernatural... lol.

Oh, I'm fine with the supernatural. To me it's anything that naturalistic science can't catch because, quite honestly, most of the scientists who try to do research on the paranormal haven't a clue how to go about it. They set experimental conditions such that even if the supernatural/paranormal did exist, the conditions that would allow it to occur are precluded, to the extent that they're only pretending to do those experiments. You can't do an experiment to see how fast marbles fall through a hole in a bucket of marbles if you bung up the 'ole.
The supernatural is one thing but if religion's man-made then it's another thing entirely.

scientists who try to do research . . . haven't a clue
Yeah I heavily edited it, but still, lol, it's such an optimissed thing to say
As to your point, sure, science makes the assumption that only natural explanations exist.

True though. Up to the mid 70s, there were several good experiments. Since then, it's got worse and worse. They don't even realise what the conditions for such experiments would be, so far as I can see. The conditions have to be such that if the phenomena for which they think they are testing are possible, they still have to have the right conditions.
Would you expect to win a water drinking competition in the middle of the Sahara, when the people running the competition forgot to bring any water?

Nah, I get it. What you're saying is reasonable.
I think a common counter from scientists would be that their methods have been very successful. Thousands of years of monkey-level tools and then in only a few 100 we go to the moon.

That's an interesting point. If "science" ASSUMES that only natural explanations exist, then how can it possibly hope to test for unnatural or unusual ones?
:
Think that wins the point. It isn't too optimistic to assume that.

Right, modern science can't test for or find supernatural stuff because it assumes it doesn't exist.
