Again, the paranormal researchers would say that the mainstream scientific community is close minded. So, I do not trust them.
There is also more than the scientific method. There is reasoning and logic. The paranormal researchers not only claim that they have used the scientific method in coming up with their claimed evidence, but that the skeptics are using flawed/close minded reasoning and logic.
Reasoning and logic are the scientific method. Show me where reasoning and logic fit into the paranormal paradigm. Yes, they claim. Claiming is not the same as scientific backing.
OMG, you're dense. I can claim and freaking thing, such as unicorns squatting in my basement. A freaking claim, without scientific backing, is merely a claim. These paranormal claims; that's just it, they're nothing more than claims.
Being open minded has nothing to do with it, because anyone with an open mind about absolutely anything will accept anything based on a mere claim rather than a scientific backing.
At this point, I don't know what more to say. The paranormal researchers would claim that they do, in fact, have scientific backing while you are claiming they don't. This is where I have to remain undecided since I just don't know one way or the other and it doesn't matter what anyone says to me. The only way for me to know for sure is for me to do full research like I have mentioned many times here. But, like I said earlier, I have no interest in doing this research. I just simply came here to inform the skeptics that perhaps they are just being close minded and need to do full research before jumping to conclusions.
