[QUOTE="SneakyCuttlefish, post: 356923, member: 3340"] I propose a double blind study situated deep in the Atacama desert. One of the driest places on earth (1-3mm rainfall annually, if you're lucky).This will radically reduce the instances of chance and guess work because any water that is there flows in very discreet small underground channels. If a dowser has a success rate of more than 50% in a place like this than it would be conclusive proof that dowsing works. I suspect the experiment would end with test subjects slowly going mad, surrounded by a sea of empty drill holes. The reality (my reality/opinion) is water is as inert a substance as they come. There are no special fields emitted that influence the rods, water doesn't have a guiding spirit and humans haven't evolved sufficiently enough to detect discreet shifts in the fields that govern our world. Its just 2 hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Mind you, 2 of the most abundant elements in the observable universe. Superstition is imposition by a carbon based life-form on a an inert substance. i.e wishful thinking (and, lack of, or underdevelopment of, critical analysis faculties and knowledge) [/QUOTE]
