If you wish to upset the law that all crows are black, you must not seek to show that no crows are; it is enough if you prove one single crow to be white.

PHLUCK's thinking, that is making a mockery of the paranormal INSTEAD of studying it with SCIENCE is exactly what I was getting at.

You were dismissing a huge post with just a few accusations.

Your posts still drip with pure emotional response, you don't seem to be trying to rationally explain your points. You get angry, start a thread, get even angrier at the responses, and continue throughout the thread hurling accusations, and simply saying what you believe, instead of making any effort to prove it.

Yes, we understand that you think that science isn't open to new ideas, and that they're all dismissed as complete nonsense, but take a site like skepdic.com, for example. While it certainly has a bias, it has a huge amount of information about scientific studies on the paranornal. What about CSICOP? Center for the Scientific Investigation in Claims Of the Paranormal?

These groups are obviously skeptical, but that's what science is all about; testing things before you assume a certain answer.

If you read through the articles on skepdic.com, you'll find a whole lot of discussion about actual scientific studies regarding paranormal claims. A WHOLE LOT.

And before you go off about how they are critical of the studies, realize that this is how science works. Scientists constantly debate and criticize each other's experiments. That includes mainstream science.

You know what the thing to do is when someone finds a hole in the experiment, or points out other things that could have caused the same results? It's not to accuse them of being closed minded, that's not going to get anyone anywhere. It means you try to redesign the experiment in such a way that the problem is dealt with.
