Good argument...,

[angel_09]

if we want to know the color of white, we must understand the color of black... If someone posted about dowsing and provided his own account how he achieved his results, the best argument to disprove it, is by providing detailed, supported arguments so it may not look just a plain antagonistic action. These people have spent time to satisfy their curiosity, and if even we do not accept his results, at least, in negating his argument, facts should or must be presented to support our argument.

I think some of them do hunt they post pictures of their finds.

As I understand, the purpose of dowsing is for treasure hunting. In treasure hunting, either you use a metal detector, a dowsing instrument or combination of both; to find valuable material by using either or both method. If one find a precious metal, using dowsing, isn't it a proof to one's self that his instrument is worth its salt? If he uses a metal detector, isn't a person happy because the price OF IT is also worth against its find? If he uses both and find precious metal, is he not the center of envy by those who just talk without proving anything? When the wright brothers said that they will fly a plane, the SCIENTIST, SKEPTICS AND UNBELIEVERS just laugh... 1. because the brothers are not engineers, 2. not a scientist, 3. not a physicist, but bycyle repairmen. Now who have the last laugh? Logic is simple, How much did i find using these instruments? ... How much a person find using his argument?...

Who is winning so far?

[gldhntr]

probably blackmiller, as most of the arguements on the dowsing threads are mostly from his constant childish instigation....................................... .....gldhntr

BlackMiller? No it couldn't be, could it? This would be too good to be true. Old so and so was my favorite poster in these threads. I have to watch this thread more closely!

You do not have to "disprove" something that has not been proven. That is pretty black and white?

"Skepticism is a provisional approach to claims. It is the application of reason to any and all ideas — no sacred cows allowed. In other words, skepticism is a method, not a position. Ideally, skeptics do not go into an investigation closed to the possibility that a phenomenon might be real or that a claim might be true. When we say we are “skeptical,” we mean that we must see compelling evidence before we believe."

So, you would have told Columbus that he couldn't have the ship. Thanks to you we would still be bowing to a king.
