James Randi i totally agree, Psychics does not exist in this world, Psychics are fake, the people who claims they have Psychics power they are as worst as Satan because they are con man.....

There is something feeble & a little comtemptible about a man who cannot face the perils of life without the help of comfortable myths.

That Peter guy can't be a happy camper. I suppose that fact ensures his punishment. If only all those people put their money into something real like Howard Y. Lee's stuff. You know that guy? Wow. Or Regina Bernstein. That's real. Faith is powerful. Faith comes from knowledge. Knowledge is claimed.

Again, how is that any different from someone just saying "I prayed to Horus and he told me that he was the only true God."?

Shifting continents is neither a miracle nor requires a deity to explain, that's a bad example. The other 'miracles' haven't even been shown to have happened, let alone what the cause may have been. Do you honestly not see the giant faults, shortcomings and pitfalls of that line of reasoning? I'm sorry but you haven't addressed my questions in the slightest.
