They sure must have done a fine job on Saddam. How come they had a high six-figure number of deaths in that war? No need to discuss numbers themselves. If those remote viewers were so great, why not just figure out where he hides and bomb him and a few of his cronies to Kingdom Come? And let everybody else live, including lost US personnel? (Not that I think this war was justified in any way - I don't miss Saddam either, but once you believe it was necessary to take him out you would also have to take out a lot of "friendly" dictators and other scumbags world-wide)
Sorry, but this whole remote viewing thingy would be great - if it existed. Or maybe not. Because you could use it for horrible things also. Which is more likely. The way the human race appears to me, anyhow.
I would love to see a credible experiment where remote viewing is proven. And it wouldn't have to be very sophisticated either.
Example: Just some pool player on this forum meeting one of these remote viewers and let him describe what kind of game I play downstairs and how many balls I made. Then let the pool player post the remote viewer's findings on this forum. I could have another person of your choice downstairs with me, without any immediate communication means like smart phones. After your viewer has seen my game or at least my room and posted it here on the forum, your trusted person over here would post pics or describe the balls I made (or did not make). Then we would easily see how close he got to reality. BTW, I live in Germany since 1976, but that should not be a problem for remote viewers ...

Stuff like that would convice me but I am sure a real study like the $ 1M offer's parameters would convince more people - you could still bribe me, right?! Oh, such a bribe would be really costly
All of the other stuff you wrote: I don't argue with you there because I respect other people's religious beliefs. Even if I find them really strange because they contradict logic and science in many ways.
One last thing though: Your belief is one of thousands or hundreds of thousands of differing beliefs that exist on this planet. Maybe even more. So: how do you come to assume that YOUR belief is the only correct one. And not the belief of the Muslim next door. Or the Jew a mile away. Or the Buddhist ...., the Agnostic, the Atheist?
If I assume there is such a thing/being called God. Isn't it highly presumptuous to assume that such a "low-life" with very limited brains on a tiny speck in universe(s) such as I am is the only one or one of just a few who know the whole truth?
I personally am much more modest and I don't assume I understood much. I know my little amoeba puddle some - which would be the few laws of physics, technology and extent of space known to me and so on. Those are "apparently" true for me personally. Everything beyond that is like the stuff experienced on Yellow Sunshines many years ago for me - surely some altered state of mind/reality but with no significance for anyone else but me, personally.
I hope we can agree that - hopefully - over 90% of all sane people agree that the laws of physics as taught in school apply to pool, for example.
The Yellow Sunshine stuff, specific religious beliefs, philosophies are personal beliefs/experiences valid for just a tiny part of the earth's population. And the earth is just a tiny puddle with a high probability that way out there there are smarter beings than we are.
So I would never assume that too many others should share my convictions. Rather, many might consider some parts of them really crazy. Because there are no real proofs for or against them. Just assumptions on my part.
