Palm reading is an amusement only. Only the extremely gullible believe in it.

would you say the same for tarot cards....

I think it goes for tarot as well, it's just plain fun. What's wrong with a little imagination in this world?

Although I don't think the spirits or whatever energies are controlling tarot cards, if one stands out to you, it must have relevance to you, and it means something to you to learn from it about yourself...

I think it's just a tool to look within yourself.

It's extremely accurate.

There was actually a study released by Cambridge in which palm reader predictions were tested out over a course of 10 years and a remarkable 85% of them were right!

(I wish I could find the link)

I have a book on it at home, somewhat interesting, but I find it hard to believe, don't know.

No, he's not. I remember seeing it on "Catalyst"( an Australian science and technology show - http://www.abc.net.au/catalyst/) a few years ago. The results of the tests were accurate, and there are actually some pretty solid theories about how they work.

Bullshit. You are extremely gullible. But, i will read that report if you post a link.

Haha, uhh no.

Would be nifty is it were accurate, but no I don't think so. There are too many lines which represent to many things, and resultantly palm readers can never be 100% accurate. Then if one thing does match, like you become rich 'cos you money line says you will- they think it's warranted enough to believe in the technique. However, in reality it's coincidence.

I would love to know what the scientific studies were? For the life of me I just don't know how you could accurately measure something like that. If you just chose a bunch of people and checked how many reading were plausible, you can fudge it. If someone wants to find a link, they will (like star signs), since the science to it in my opinion is just so ambiguous.

But then, I had a bad reading from a quack once. That is probably the reason for any negativity. After all, I love star signs
