Skeptics might be jumping to conclusions

Sure you can..ya just...don't....wanna.

No you won't, lol.  Lie to me all day..I don't mind..but lying to yourself is just sad.

People have told me that drawing a conclusion as to whether the paranormal is lies or not is not a matter of looking into the debates. Instead, it is this some sort of one-time thing when you tell me that I just need to look at one argument and come to the conclusion that Dean is a charlatan.  If this one argument really is the nail in the coffin for these paranormal researchers, then go ahead and present it.  Likewise, I will also look into the "one-hit K.O." argument that the paranormal proponents have as well and compare the two arguments.

No, but you do need to learn the basics of how science works. Don't expect a two paragraph treatment of this. You might need to study a bit. Say, a month or two.

Now, I am quite sure Dean Radin is well aware of all this information I need to learn.  Given this, he should know how science is really done and the skeptics should know as well.  Therefore, I have considered another possibility which is that both Dean and the skeptics are conducting science properly since they know how science works.  From there, there might still be some disagreement for whatever reason which needs to be settled.  I would look into this disagreement and find out whether the paranormal really is lies or not.
