As for speaking in tongues, glossolalia is a well documented (non-supernatural) phenomenon: http://skepdic.com/glossol.html http://skepdic.com/glossol.html, usually associated with mental illness.
As for the hidden knowledge claims, the author should have consulted James Randi, who during his career, always managed to boil such fantastic claims down to sometimes ingenious and sometimes hilariously simple techniques used by the "practitioner". AFAIK, he never lost his $1 million bet.
- knodi123 10y ago> AFAIK, he never lost his $1 million bet. That is correct, he never lost- however, "These demons, being fallen angels, are sentient and are hardly likely to allow themselves to be recorded. That's how they sow so much confusion and doubt." This is identical to the invisible dragon in my garage. http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/The_Dragon_in_My_Garage http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/The_Dragon_in_My_Garage
- ryao 10y agoThat sounds harder than recording the Equation Group in the act of developing malware without their consent. So far, the most that I have seen is videos of weird things than videos of the things doing them, like this one: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/video/news/video-1243908/Spooky-moment-desk-chair-flies-office-night.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/video/news/video-1243908/Spooky-m... That said, all videos could be fake, so it does not matter if we actually got one of something real. Who would believe it aside from the guy who took the video?
- ktRolster 10y agoAs for speaking in tongues, glossolalia is a well documented (non-supernatural) But it never involves speaking fluently in a real human language unknown to the speaker, which is what this guy is claiming.
- hliyan 10y agoOccam's Razor would suggest that either the speaker's language proficiency was unknown to the observer, or the observer mistook superficial similarities to a real language because he himself was not a speaker.
- salgernon 10y agoOr the observers enthusiasm in witnessing the behavior led them to incorrectly attribute meaning where there was none. People that really want to see witches are more likely to than people that eschew the paranormal.
