When something like "morphic resonance" is a grandiose non-theory-of-everything with no evidence then you really can pick the bullshit from the start.

Even if your view of reality turns out to be correct, you absolutely need people like Radin, Sheldrake, and Alex pushing forward awkward data.

I've heard this line from ID proponents and HIV denialists. It was vacuous then and it is vacuous now. Frankly, I get tired of hearing about "science at the tipping point" or "evolution/plate tectonics/HIV is a paradigm in crisis" or "a new science". I'm still waiting for the promised revolution that never comes. It is just a lot of hot air from a bunch of whingers.
What actual science have Radin or Sheldrake contributed? I asked this about the Journal of Scientific Exploration. What contribution has it made to science?
