[QUOTE="Grayson, post: 590, member: 18"] [b]Paranormal: Fact or fiction?[/b] It really should be Hack doing this, but here goes. [i]paranormal adj 1: seemingly outside normal sensory channels [syn: extrasensory] [ant: sensory] 2: not in accordance with scientific laws; "what seemed to be paranormal manifestations" [ant: normal][/i] Note the, NOT in accordance with Scientific laws bit. The laws of science are fairly well defined, so nearly everything that we encounter can be, by employing the laws of science and the rigours of scientific assessment, measured, quantified and divined in both purpose and effect. Not so the paranormal. No one has yet to offer up a measurable argument for or against UFO's for instance. I am a Psychologist, not a Psychiatrist, who has looked into parapsychology. This is an area of psychological interest which defies the normal scientific measures that any psychologist would employ in their day to day research. I understand the alleged cause and effect of ESP, but I can find no rational nor scientific basis for it to toted about as a function of a higher, or more attuned mind. In fact, all the studies that I have seen have concluded that mathematical chance is at work when ESP'ers are reading minds. My point and my argument therefore stands, as is. [/QUOTE]
