What Are The Myths Concerning The Science of Parapsychology?

[PsiSearch]

There are numerous myths that have been proposed as evidence of Psi and the legitimacy of parapsychology as a science. For example, people often misquote the statement that humans only use 10% of their brains.

I am looking for specific statements or claims that are made concerning the science of parapsychology. If you make some general comment like "None of this stuff is real", I will give you a thumbs down and you will not get a best answer from me. I want specifics, and I am not interested in reading about people's praise of their hero or any references to challenges.

On the other hand, I am looking for honest and thoughtful opinions without any regard to which position they are supporting. Please try to keep the responses respectful.

I'm a bit mixed on this, but parapsychologists do tend to try and follow scientific protocols - so I'm willing to call it science.

Ok, we'll have to keep looking. I have played some call of duty, though its not my favourite, I will get back to it though. I hate sports games (except for the wii ones, those are fun!). I've been making my way lately through Halo Reach (myself and coop with the wife) and Fallout III, with a little bit of Mario Galaxy and prince of persia thrown in. I don't have that much time to play (and I'm not the best) so it takes me a long time to finish a game! I have a huge list of games that I want to get but I'm exercising restraint by forcing myself to finish the games I have before I move on to another game!
