'No, actually we don't say that, we tend to say that there is evidence and that that is what we interpret, if there is no evidence then (unless there is real "fit", which is kind of evidence in itself) we assume it is untrue. No one is saying that there are things that might be real ads yet unexplained and it is entirely possible that precognition for example might be one of them. The problem lies in the fcat that so many claims are made and there is no way to distinguish between which are valid and which are not UNLESS you demand some kind of evidential support, some tie into reality and our senses (via technology). '
Actualy, I think you have proved Edward's argument here. You need evidence. Fair enough, but I am willing to bet that you are talking about emperical evidence e.g. something you can SENSE. This means that, by demanding material evidence for phenomenon before even concidering its validity then you are saying 'nothing is real unless I can sense it'. I think that is what Edward was trying to say.
'Or that your imagination trumps your reason!'
What is so imaginitive about it? Schitzophrenics see things all the time. Imagination does not trump their reason, they have a problem. In the same way, perhaps we all have a problem e.g. we can not realise that we are part of a whole. It is a fair enough hypothesis, I think.
