Debunking PseudoSkeptical Arguments of Paranormal Debunkers
Argument
# 25: Spiritual
experiences
only exist in your mind, not in external reality.
Since no
one knows all that
exists in all of reality, including skeptics, no one can say with
infallible
authority what exists and what doesn't.
Even if we take something out
of fantasy like unicorns and dragons, for
instance, we don't know that those type of creatures don't exist in the
trillions of other planets in the universe since we haven't even been
to any
others beside our own.
Furthermore,
string theory in physics suggest that there may be many dimensions,
which if
true may suggest other planes or levels of reality that we don't
understand
yet.
These other levels of reality
could
contain creatures or beings that we can't even imagine, even unicorns
and dragons.
Even arch skeptic James Randi
has said that
to say that something doesn’t exist is an extraordinary claim
(though he has
contradicted himself on this).
Therefore,
this is another
unqualified pseudoskeptical statement based on their biases and
prejudices, not
based on objectivity. We simply don’t know many things, and
neither do they.
The difference is, we admit it, whereas they won’t.
