Why Are Twins Linked?

[bainbrig]

Or rather HOW are twins linked? Where one hurts a leg, and the other at a distance feels it, for example.

Is there in fact some sort of spiritual connection? How can this be explained in a godless world?

[bainbrig]

Ah, no Jim. You seem to be vascillating between an ‘all scientists are of course open-minded’ position and a ‘don’t ask such stupid questions’ position.

Not good.

No, you're misunderstanding.

It's not a stupid question to ask, but it's massively premature. You can't ask "why" until you've established "if". That's the point.

Open-mindedness has to be tempered by how the world is, and what the evidence supports.

[bainbrig]

Okay, but I'm not suggesting it should be taught in schools or added to textbooks, just kicked around - which is surely what has always happened to 'outlandish' ideas.

I don't live by anecdotal evidence - only a fool would. But neither do I dismiss the volumes of such stories as ALL being just rubbish!

Bill, your OP suggested you think these occurrences are the work of god. I think that’s why the ensuing debate has occurred.
