[QUOTE="triad, post: 587, member: 24"] [b]Paranormal: Fact or fiction?[/b] Nice skeptical post. A few too many generalizations for my taste for a posting that is trying to come from the logic corner, but those are nits in otherwise a good overview of a lot of different areas. It seems to me that there are two categories that would fall under this. One is those claims which are made that can be falsified by the scientific method. Some people continue to believe despite the evidence against and it seems to me that this is just self delusion. Some delusions are are harmless, others less so. The other category is the one suggested by Phoenix's earlier post. Areas where science cannot falsify the claim. A couple of examples here would be visitors from other planets and time travellers. A ton of speculation, but nothing in the way of proof. The key point here is that absence of evidence is not evidence of absense. I hope that we can all keep our minds open enough to be able to accept new experiences and investigate new claims honestly, but not so open so as to become a sieve ;) javascript:emoticon(';)') [/QUOTE]
