I never said Psi wasn't possible. What I said was there's no compelling evidence, and I for one am not going to believe in something without better evidence than what I've seen to date.
Yep, Carl Sagan said it - but he's been dead ten years. Let's see what's happened in that time:
Astronomy - a date for the age of the universe, discovery of dark matter, discovery of dark energy, discovery of over 100 extra-solar planets...
Physics - entanglement, quantum cryptography, (coming soon) the possible discovery of the Higgs boson (if it exists)...
Biology: Mapping of the human genome, new gene therapies, new drugs...
Parapsychology: Errrm...
