There was definetly some force that threw that slipper. It was not the cat's claw. The cat was on one side of me the slippers on the other. Supernatural when I hear that word I cannot help but think of demons, elves, etc. But then again how do we know what we call demon, elves, etc are only a Natural part of the Universe? A part of the Universe not yet discovered. We know how vast the universe is. We know or maybe we just hypothesize that there are other planets Just not discovered then maybe we should apply this theory to some CLAIMS of the paranormal. The evidence of the phenomenon of things like clairvoyance, telepathy, Ghosts, Phantoms, is all around well documented.
Parpsychology is on the rise to a most respected and valued Science..

What you fail to realize, is that getting science from a 'journal' like that is like getting your world news from Teen Beat Magazine. Its basically like a tabliod with hydrolics and 1500$ rims. If the studies were scientifically valid they would be reviewed and sent to proper magazines where the authors would then win noble prizes in more than one catagory. Do you think they dont want that? The two periodicals I mentioned DO reveiw studies just like these, usually the ones that Paranormalists claim are the most sound, and in every instance they found controls lacking, manifest destiny, wishful thinking or downright fraud.
And you dont seem to understand that everything in the universe is science, IF demons and fairies and Psi-balls exist they exist in science, only imagination and personal perception exist outside of science. |

It's all in a Name...
What we label...
do you know that in Europe Parapsychology is reguarded as aTrue Science?
In America it is not.
It was privatized with the split of J.B. Rhine and Duke University.
So it is no wonder the thinking is seperate..
Stagnate...
That is why it is time...

Sure, why not? It's a decent definition of a term. And gee, it includes the origin of the universe, and the origin of life on Earth. It also makes my favorite color being blue an "anomalistic alleged extraordinary event," so it's not a very useful term, now is it?quote:

I would like to see what if any reputable science groups would claim that Parapsycology is accepatble science in Eurpoe.
One again a claim without support. This is proof I want to see. |

Pretty bold statememt. I looked at the degree offerings in several European schools and while they had degrees in regular 'true' sciences I could not find any ones that had degrees in parapsychology. Is it possible you are just repeating what someone told you?

What Storm isn't getting is easy to see here.
If an "event" occurs, then it can be observed. If it is observed and documented properly, and done so in a way that the observation can be repeated and verified, then it's science.
The very word paranormal, when applied to any observation, raises a red flag. I implies a bias in the observer, a logical fallacy referrd to as confirmation bias

Not in the part of Europe I'm living in. Perhaps you're thinking of East Germany, Romania, or Belarus some fifty years ago?
Until you show some evidense of this, I'll consider it bullshit.
