Posted: 11 Nov 2011, 23:29But remember, it's not irrelevant. It's just not enough. We should definetly seriously look into things that have a lot of belief behind it. SOMETHING interesting is likely going on - the question is what.

Posted: 11 Nov 2011, 23:59That's not my point: it's still interesting! There's still SOMETHING going on! I don't believe in god, but the study of why people do believe in god is facinating!
Just like with parapsychology. I'm not convinced that something non-physical is involved in getting anomalous results, but clearly something is going on - be it error, bias, variance, etc. The results do bear further investigation. When it comes to psi, I just wish there was at least one clear win! Tart came the closest with the OBE in the 60s, but hasn't repeated it!
