Please can I remind you all of the original purpose of the Remote Sensing Forum:
The term "remote sensing" is used to describe scientifically viable methods of detecting geophysical anomalies from a distance. It is also used to describe the less scientific method of "long-range locating", which is engulfed in controversy. The discussions here have wandered far from the original purpose of the forum, and are rapidly degrading into a religious debate. Please refrain from personal attacks and try to get back to technical discussions. ![]() |

Michael referenced a post above whereby 1843 described his discussions with people who have strong religious beliefs: Quote:
His point is that most scientifically educated people believe in the invisible energies used from electricity, magnetism, EM waves because they can see the secondary effects of these forms of energy which are visible, even when they can't see the energy itself. His implication is that 1843 is not among those who will be satisfied to believe after only seeing the secondary effects of things that are invisible, whether it is some form of energy, a diety, or a Jinn. Any interperetation that "if a person does not believe in your Jinns, then by default they must also be of a closed-mind and be an atheist" is simply an inference that a reader may erroneously draw after reading what michael wrote.

But I thought you were not able to see what is written in the forum when the subject of Jinns is part of the post: Quote:
There is no religious debate here. The information that Vistac2000 asked for has been given, and the remaining discussion is only about details, such as the identity of the person who started the forum thread, and a precaution that one poster feels is important. The reference of religion is not about the theology or dogma of any particular religion, in fact it is not about religion at all. It is a discussion about the ontology and epistemology of the sciences being put forward in order to reason with people who are challenging the posted experiences. The question is whether this is a good subject to include in a remote sensing forum? I think yes. Especially when a member has been misquoted by another in order to make his challenges look more convincing. And isn't this what epistemology is all about anyway? Determining the nature of knowledge, and what we should accept or not accept? My opinion is we should start with accurate information, rather than re-writing what others say they have observed, concluded, etc. to mean something different. I have seen entire threads in this remote sensing forum dedicated only to the football games. So what is wrong with looking a little closer into what some members consider a legitimate concern for treasure hunters who requested a long range locator plan? Apparently some people cannot tolerate reading posts that describe experiences of things that are not seen by most people, and the option to turn on their filters and play "ostrich" became a suitable solution. The head buried in the sand is good insulation to prevent reading or answering any unwanted questions in a forum thread. Best wishes, J_P |

My initial knee-jerk reaction was in response to what appeared to be a conclusion or axiom stating that if I (or others) couldn't believe in Jinns then we must be closed-minded and also an atheist. Perhaps my interpretation of the comment was in error, but certainly the inferences were there - I didn't make them up. In either case, I'm considering the topic closed. ![]()

I respect the Qiaozhi's note; so I don't argue anymore.
Michael, you can open a new thread regarding Jinns!

![]() ![]() I never had decision to elongate discussions about this matter to this point, I just wanted to warn a guy with a post, some friends with their questions/curiosity and some like you with ridiculing ,pushed me to put more posts. Any independent person with reading the posts will realize my purpose was honesty pure not to show off. anyway I see no necessary not to answer to questioner about this matter here or anywhere else. I will answer him honesty to god based on what I've experienced personally not dream or fancy. |

What I said was: "The discussions here have wandered far from the original purpose of the forum, and are rapidly degrading into a religious debate. Please refrain from personal attacks and try to get back to technical discussions. I did not say that it had actually become a religious debate, but I can see it heading that way, with some members calling others atheists or whatever. You can continue discussing Jinns (if you must) but I have already stated my own position concerning this nonsense. If anyone else has a strong opinion, I suggest that you do the same ... state your case and move on. ![]() |

I didn't say it was a direct quote; that's why I calmly asked you in the first place if I misunderstood your meaning. My words were......

So, the jinns keep the mines and the treasures? The 7 dwarfs are the miners in brothers Grimm's thale... In many cultures is similar.

I don´t think Michael is lying, he´s exposing his experience.
I respect that and calling him liar doesn´seems right to me. You have the right to believe or not.Just like in religions, anyone have the right to believe what he wants-independently if it´s true or not. |

No Jinns in Paraguay or Brazil? But other spirits keep the treasures? Hmmmm.... Is this the reason why you usually find coins and other small treasures? Have the spirits taken all the large gold statues to keep for themselves? ![]() Best wishes, J_P |

During the ruling period of Akbar, he learned about the legends of Jwalamukhi. In a fit of anger, he tried to douse the flames with a stream of water. The great power of the Goddess, still kept the flames burning. Realizing the power of Jwala Devi, Akbar came with his army to this temple. He brought a Gold umbrella (Chatra) for the Goddess, but on offering, the umbrella turned into an unknown metal suggesting that the Goddess didn't accept his offering. http://www.culturalindia.net/indian-...vi-temple.html |
