Skeptics might be jumping to conclusions

The paranormal researchers such as Dean Radin claim there is peer reviewed research.  It is called IONS.  If any skeptic objects to this, then it could still be possible they are being close minded and jumping to conclusions using their shortcuts:

Hey as long as the organization is in good standing with other well established peer review vehicles fine with me.  But if this is just some hack group like Rik's intuitional scientists, shove it, you're not being serious.

Yeah, I doubt if he is willing to dedicate himself to the long path of collecting all the evidence regarding his being full of shit.  He really is a slacker-bot.

I am suggesting ..


No need to get all verbose about it.  My edit cuts to the chase.

Did you actually read the review? Very well done. Critical and provides supporting evidence. But then you just were jumping to a conclusion.


Typical theist short cut.
