"Leading skeptic Richard Wiseman has admitted that the evidence is so good that "by the standards of any other area of science, [telepathy] is proven."
It's interesting that given positive proof from documented, repeatable scientific experiments (Placebo Effect, Human and Animal Telepathy, Remote Viewing, ESP) carried out by reputable labs, the answer of choice for an atheist is to deny the validity of the experiment. This seems to be because it tends to fuck up the fundaments of the science they subscribe to and 'oh heresy' that cannot possibly be allowed.
Yet, there's good old gravity. Is it a wave or particle? Force or deviation in space-time? Does science have an answer for that yet?
Science is becoming dogmatic, much like the church did. And humans are doing their instinctive best to screw it up. The pop-science celebs consistently promote their own agendas at the expense of a skeptical but open minded approach.- Atheists don't subscribe to science, scientists do.i_monk
- Science at least is trying to define gravity, unlike religion.monospaced
