But if you were to put a number on the chance and compare it to how many time sit happens.... Hell that is science and would support the theory just as much as people support the Big Bang

[Leafsnail]

Uh... wouldn't've said so.  With enough people and enough potential events, stuff like that can happen.

This just in:  Children are wizards!  Film at 11.

Actually I have personally experienced  a few moments of "magic". I threw a fit one day begging my mom not to let the cat out. It probably would of been the thousandth time he'd be let out, so there was no reason for my to throw such a fit (I was like, . She let him out anyway and on the way home we found him ran over

Sad story but the point is the chances of that happening are extremely rare and only seem to happen to children. I really don't believe in esp or anything but experience has told me otherwise.

The number you need to compare is how many times you threw a fit and nothing happened or something happened when you didn't throw a fit. Don't forget people don't remember common events only uncommon ones and so when you look back at your life it's the low chance things that are still clear.

Doesn't have to be one person. And the children don't need to remember anything.

Get like, 1000 parents to monitor their child's activity.

Yeah, the whole "It happens so often that I think of someone and then that someone calls me! I must be psychic or something!"-thing. I'm not saying it isn't true, it's just that it A: probably happens less than you think and B: unless you can make accurate predictions with it, it's a pretty useless 20/20-hindsight-skill. Like praying.

Thinking of someone and then getting a phone call from them seems like coincidence. I'm sure you think about someone several times a day but never get a call. But throwing a fit about not wanting your cat to go outside, then having it die? Idk.

[fqllve]

Seems like a coincidence to me.

I mean, you were eight at the time right? You might have had a reason for throwing the fit that you don't remember.

[Micro102]

? But I do remember it. I just suddenly didn't want my mom to let the cat out and screamed for her not to let him.

[Leafsnail]

Could it be because the weather (and therefore visibility) was particularly bad that night?

He means, how many "fits" did you have as a child that you don't remember because they didn't have such a dramatic outcome?

[Micro102]

That's why I say run an experiment.

That's why I say run an experiment.

How? How could that situation be experimentally reproduced?

I'm going to need 100 beloved pets and an automobile.
