I can't agree with the second part of your statement. I think you've worded it wrong/weird. If you want to create a fountain of coke, for example, and take some mentos and put it in the coke, and create of fountain of coke, that is something that happened because you want it to.
No, I mean something happened as a direct result of wanting, to therefore imply psychic powers or divine intervention. Not indirectly, such as wanting a fountain and then making one.
Then, humph.

Yes, it is a stretch. In fact, it has been proven that dolphins and some fish DO have those senses, while it has not been proven that some people can see auras. Would you believe me if I said I was physic, like Godhead said he was?
Question: Why does humans not having a sense that other mammals/fish have make it hard to believe in? They are a DIFFERENT SPECIES, of course they are going to be DIFFERENT from humans.
Another thing I'd like to add is the fact that you don't think it's weird that dolphins and fish have gills and humans don't, or that bears and cats have fur and humans don't, or that birds can fly and humans can't.
