Jenny - You're also (willfully?) ignoring something I have pointed out to you many times before.
I'll bold it so you don't miss it, this time: About one-half of scientists are religious believers of some sort.
So when you say "scientists", and try to imply that they don't believe because they refuse to investigate (and that it's because they don't want to believe), it ignores the fact that every other one out there does believe.
As to your claim that things are not investigated, in addition to the links already provided for you, you should really look into the group called the Committee for the Scientific Investication of Claims of the Paranormal (CSICOP, for short). They do exactly what you claim no one is willing to do.

A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
