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. |
I don't have a problem with anyone investigating Psi. But it has to be done properly - controlled conditions, double blind tests, replication of results, expert review. That's what's lacking in these studies. Do it right and find positive results, and people will listen. So far whenever the tests have been done properly, the effects go away.
For the third time, Radin's book doesn't prove anything, so stop pushing me to read it - it ain't gonna happen. Radin performing proper experiments in a lab and coming up with good, solid results that can be replicated by independent workers - that's what I want to see.
Before you mention that Radin's work was duplicated by three other labs - yes, I know. I also know that Radin worked at all three of those labs (doesn't this raise *any* red flags?) - that's why I said 'independent'.
