Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Evidence
|
Natural means a confused mess of half-assed evolution, some sort of intended purpose by a weird supernatural being, and not being different from the norm in ways that make bigots uncomfortable.

Chad the pompous ass: Define "supernatural" and then give us an example of something supernatural that actually exists rather than using the whole "it's in the bible and it must be true because god wrote it" circularlity.
It's supernaturalism that is inherently circular. There's evidence of naturalism EVERYWHERE in fact it's all there is evidence of! It's anything outside it that is lacking! RE: Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Evidence

That's a good one Benny. I like "the sum total of all forces in the universe".
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

The minute you say that one set of data requires more or less scrutiny than another you inject more subjectivity into the results. Nevertheless the most recent psi studies are very robust something ever critics have acknowledged. The early posts might have been true 20 years ago. Today its a different story. Being objective doesn't mean having the same standard for every experiment. That would be absurd. Some experiments are more susceptible to bias, and the study has to be tailored to that. Because that's what objective really means in this context. It means eliminating bias as much as possible. Unfortunately for your pet claims, every time corrections are made to eliminate bias, the results disappear. That's exactly what we would expect from a false claim. 
Here's one sample of some recent research in presentiment...make of it what you will.

The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers. Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities. --Voltaire Nietzsche isn't dead. How do I know he lives? He lives in my mind.
I know something juicy and sweet that doesn't involve any balls at all.
