Seeing that for almost 100 years scientific experiments in the field of parapsychology have found no evidence of anything paranormal happening, I'd say there is no good evidence. Many of these experiments are quite ingenious - and if anecdotes are to be believed - picking up evidence of the spirit realm should be extremely easy.
Unfortunately all we find are negative results or outright fraud.

>> Truth:
>> I've had this argument out with REM, et al., before:
>> "Anecdotal evidence" may be considered "weak evidence", but hardly "no evidence at all".
The value of anecdotes in evaluating extraordinary claims can be considered so weak as to be, in practice, no evidence at all. Anecdotes tend to be more reliable as evidence when used to evaluate ordinary claims.

>> Many people down through the ages have claimed experiences in that realm. Thousands of people have had near death experiences where they experiences out of body stuff. While little of this info has been blessed by the scientific priesthood, nevertheless, it suggests that there probably are other dimensions, not easily detected.
The plural of anecdote is not data. ;)

>> Marriage is a sacrament, ordained by God, and reiterated by his Son, Jesus Christ, while on earth.
I disagree.

Crownboy,
>>But didn't Califonia citizens overwhelmingly vote to define marriage as an institution only between a man a woman, rem? Or does that resolution not carry the same weight as the explicit non discrimination declaration in the Constitution?
Right, the California citizens voted to enact the marriage definition law, but it is being argued that that enacted law is unconstitutional because of the anti-discrimination language in the CA Constitution. I believe the State constitution always trumps laws from both the legislature and propositions enacted by the voters.
It's in the court's hands now, so we'll see what happens. Hopefully the rights of the minority will be protected from the views of the majority in this case. That's what having a Constitution is all about, right? :)

>>I dont think it's right for state laws to over-step federal laws such was the San Francisco case.
This is not what happened in my beautiful city. :)
The California State Constitution bans discrimination based on sexual orientation. The SF Mayor decided that issuing marriage licenses *only* to heterosexual couples was discriminatory and unconstitutional (California Constitution - not Federal).
There is no Federal statute (yet) that says it is illegal for States to allow gay marriage. Even if there were, it would be unconstitutional, which is why some are pushing for an ammendment.

by Blueblades in.
the video:is the bible right after all?
the theory of evolution lacks evidence.produced by drei linden,an independent film company of berlin germany,refutes darwin's theory of evolution citing the overwhelming lack of evidence that simple life forms became complex organisms by mutation or other changes.. evolutionists have tried to suppress basic scientific facts of genetic principles in favor of their unsupported theories.evolutionary doctrines served as the "scientific" grounds for the racial atrocities of the third reich's hatred and persecution.these facts and more are dealth with on the film,leading the viewer to ponder the title question.. has anyone seen this video?it is making some bold statements concerning science and the racial atrocities committed by third reich.any thoughts on this?i have not seen this video and don't intend to waste $26.00 on it.. blueblades
