The fact that skeptics would go to so much trouble to blot out competing views is really a testament to the weakness of their position and the lengths they will go to in order to defend their worldview.

This blog leaves little doubt about the desperation of their position. When coupled with Johann being banned from the physics forum for even bringing up a competing view, and Cambridge for leaving the parapsychology chair open rather than give it to a qualified parapsychologist, it's apparent that their time in the sun is coming to a close.

For skepticism of parapsychology, the end is clearly near.

Yeah, cause that is the only way to view that data. I wonder what the proponents of the 4 humors said?

That's correct. There is only one way to view that data objectively. A rudimentary understanding of psychology is enough to assess the situation correctly.

As far as the 4 humors, you tell me. You're the one defending the outmoded, weak current paradigm, not me.

Touché! It's fascinating the way people can fail to see how lessons from history equally apply to themselves. The idea that this current paradigm will last is a naive assumption. The chances are that in a 100 years time the self assured pronouncements of the materialist will be the stuff of comedy.

There is much to fear, for the minions of Lord Randi are as numerous as the waves of the ocean, the stars in the sky, and the grains of sand upon the beaches of Middle Earth, yet there is one thing they cannot stand: Evidence.

And so there is still hope, my friends, for all that is good and worth fighting for, for the Paradigm-bearer makes his way ever closer to the cracks of Mt. Dogma - destined to put an end to the evil that wrought the pain of this world.

And when that happens, there shall again be peace on Middle Earth.
