I'd say something witty but I can't stop laughing long enough.

Anand wrote concerning Leadbeater and  Mars:

----------------------------------------------------------
What  proof do you have which proves Leadbeater was wrong [about 
Martians living  on Mars]? In the absence of proof if you discard the 
findings of any  clairvoyant, then it is unscientific. Your position 
would be more accurate  if you say " I don't have proof of whether 
such inhabitants exist on Mars  or not. So I can not support or reject 
Leadbeater's findings about  Mars"
----------------------------------------------------------

Does  this really make sense?

Suppose a Danish clairvoyant describes going  "out of the body" to
Greenland where he visits the headquarters of Santa  Claus. This
clairvoyant describes in great detail Santa Claus, his  appearance,
his house, his headquarters, etc. etc.

Later a follower  of said clairvoyant when challenged about the
validity and truthfulness of  the Santa Claus claim could write
something similar to what Anand  wrote:

"What proof do you have which proves the Danish clairvoyant  wrong?
In the absence of proof if you discard the fingings of  any
clairvoyant, then it is unscientific.c

But the question  that should be posed to the follower and student
of the Danish psychic  is:

What evidence do you have which proves the Danish clairvoyant  is
right and knows what he is talking about when he says that  Santa
Claus lives somewhere in Greenland?

Regarding what Leadbeater  says about Martians living on Mars, what
evidence is there that supports  Leadbeater's claim? And does the
scientific data that has been accumulated  about Mars tell us anything
about whether Leadbeater's claim merits any  serious consideration or
not?

These are the kind of questions that  should be asked and answered.
