You just believe what you want to.

1182328 2011-03-05 05:10:00 Well if it all depends on forces in the earths crust that we don't seem to be able to describe, then logically the gravitational theory can no longer predict Earthquakes. Scientists have looked at the link between the moon and major Earthquakes and found no link (after all it seems like a reasonable hypothesis that there might be one). So there is no evidence that Ken Ring is right, and there is some evidence he is wrong.

I know something about Subjective Validation from doing a thesis on it, pretty clear signs that Ken himself uses it to create his successes in the first place.

As for bouncers at the pub, if the bouncers believe it then it just might be so. Just nothing at all to do with gravity or the moon, more like a self fulfilling prophecy (en.wikipedia.org).

1182329 2011-03-05 07:13:00 Let's keep an open mind before reverting to the dim dark ages where the earth was flat and witches were burnt at the stake.

hey we don't burn them at the stake unless they survive the ducking stool. To see a real ducking stool you will need to go to the real Canterbury in England although here is a pic I took last time I visited the folks

1182331 2011-03-05 07:15:00 It is the4 Canterbury ducking stool, its real and it exists you can see it if you walk down the High street and then stop at the Weavers by the river which is a shop. I was born and raised only 30 miles from there gary67 (56)
1182332 2011-03-05 07:17:00 What did they use it for? for fun or torture?

Edit: im guessing the latter

1182333 2011-03-05 07:21:00 A suspected witch would be sat on the stool and dunked into the river, if she died she wasn't a witch. However if she used her 'magic' power to survive then she obviously was a witch and then could be legitimately burned at the stake.

For once I haven't made any of this up its all true

1182334 2011-03-05 07:23:00 I saw something similar on the simpsons so it must me true. Gobe1 (6290)
1182335 2011-03-05 07:39:00 It's not related to a duck stool then.? :D BobM (1138)
1182336 2011-03-05 07:58:00 I'm doubting that the moon can affect the movement of tectonic plates....the tide it affects, definitely. The sun, however, I believe could affect the tectonic plates. qazwsxokmijn (102)
