Oh wow someone else slags off Randi! So? Sounds like he is sore becuase his tests are a failure.And where are the postive results from working Prof Chris French?

Sheldrake is wrong in the video when he says there is a question about the million dollars and where it is. The money is held in an account by Goldman Sachs and the quarterly statement can be viewed here:

http://www.randi.org/challenge/goldmansachs.pdf

Also, there is no stipulation in the rules of the MDC which requires the odds of success to be a million to one to win the million dollars as Sheldrake states in the video.

I wonder if the 'facts' his research turns up are as faulty as these.

And I to would like to read the results of the joint experiments Sheldrake did with Chris French. Is there a link to information about their research?

Like he said.. Randi is just one guy
he might be the most known
but there´s so many others
richard wiseman, richard dawkins, michael shermer, phil plaitt, adam savage, penn and teller, banachek...

also.. PLEASE
correct me if i am wrong
memory fails and i might be wrong
but i think randi refers to a study they did on a guy that claimed his dog had esp
because the dog always run to the door before he got there
turns out the dog always was at the door when the guy get off work
it was a timing thing.. it didnt happen when the guy was coming home on a weekend cause the schedule was irregular
but well.. thats just what i recall
but like i said, i know how memory works and i know i could be wrong, so if any of you remember anything else please help.

however
i would like to see sheldrake investigation being reviewed by scientists
i would like to live in a world with esp

I predict that many more will come out of the woodwork and let the truth be known.
With them confessing that the MDC is a "Sham" themselves i think many will jump on the band wagon of truth!

by the way
i still dont see whats y our fascination with randi
the skeptic movement is not only 1 guy
have you seen the building of jref? is small !! have you seen the ¨isaac asimov¨ library? is just one room! i have more books in my house!
it is just a SMALL SKEPTIC ASSOCIATION, TAM only gets like 900 people coming to vegas!.. Is nothing! the jref is small potatoes
yet you feel challenged and overwhelm by them!.. by this small bump
you should know that the JREF, in no way represent the skeptic movement
they dont represent me for example.

yet is quite funny seeing you koening and callahan trying to destroy it with your rants and stupidity
so far is just rants on internet forums.. i hope they go and do it for real
no veracity, no honesty...
its difficult to trust in 2 failed magicians with so much hate
