The Paranormal Challenge

[Beta Ray Bill]

I think that is a definant score for science, and a smack to faith.

Not really as it only demonstrates that humans don't appear have the ability to harness and control the supernatural at their own whim. These things will only occur by the grace of God. That said many ordinary people do often experience strange and unusual phenomenon. For instance when grandmother fell down the the stairs and broke her leg my mother knew something was wrong and called for some to check on her. But this isn't something you can test and analyse in Randi's lab so she won't win his million dollar prize.

You do realize that 2000 years ago, common men were doing the supernatural every day. You know why? Because people could claim ANYTHING was true back then. People spread BS like wildfire. Once man started becoming more scientific, and less superstitious, POOF! The miracles went from incredible, to just recordings of fluke occurances. You'll hear plenty of reports of "sixth-sense" feelings, everyone has those, but there are no more wizards changing the weather or growimg limbs back for people. Mankind could never do the supernatural, but we've always been able to deceive or more often, misunderstand.
