Bullshit! The whole point of the scientific method is that it eliminates subjective value judgments, like what is or is not "extraordinary".

Er, no.

Extraordinary is quite objective and quantifiable. It describes a claim or an appearent observation which is statistically highly improbable in the sense of being many standard deviations away from what one has been led to expect from large available body of other verifiable observations.

When you make a claim against such an overwhelming body of evidence, your claim is extraordinary. You need to provide proof extraordinary enough to be able to stand against the accumulated body of apparently contrary evidence. This is the whole statistical statistical essence of modern science, with its basis in the objective, quantifiable confidence intervals of experimental result.

Don't pretend your ulterior motive is other than to try to pretend your ridiculous claims on behalf of your swedenborgian bullshit can be placed on the same basis as science and the statistic principles behind modern experimental science does not exist to call you out. Now go and masturbate somewhere else.
