As for why I'm here, it's to discuss what's being said on the Skepiko podcast. Since you've already set your mind that you believe without requiring any evidence and ignoring counter-evidence and alternative, more plausible explanations, well then... why are *you* here? |
Since you don't know for certain there's no hard evidence, then what is the problem in investigating these phenomena so we can deduce a conclusion which is scientific and not made on blind assumptions? If para psychologist's research had been completely dismissed then i can assure they would not be wasting their time with this area of science. By assuming their area of inquiry is not based on real science, i can assume your viewpoint is based on confident ignorance. I do admit it is a very controversial science but to conclude their evidence is completely faulty is absurd when you have not thoroughly investigated the facts. There have been experiments conducted in which the conclusion was highly in favor of the hypothesis, and if you are skeptical please by all means buy the book Entangled Minds.
