My point exactly, and I believe that you are more guilty of not seeing the 'other side' than most. Sure, there is a large body of work in paranormal research over a 150 year period. There is also however, a far, far vaster and more reliable body of work addressing and examining that research - none of which you appear to have considered.That phrase doesn't apply here.
Point is your opinion and my opinion are both ultimately subjective and are only as good as how well we objectively considered both sides.
In previous conversations you place the blame for disbelief in the paranormal on the percieved bias of whoever is doubting it - what you seem to forget is that thousands of the researchers were honest, men and women of faith. If there was evidence for the paranormal it would have been published by now.
Now you have said that science rejects such evidence because it challenges materialism - well the thing is George that it doesn't. If the Ganzfield exp proved telepathy absolutely - that would not challenge materialism one single iota. Telepathy would simply be established to be a natural phenomenon.
