    The results of those experiments are valid, peer reviewed and replicable - the things that you have said are the only things that count in science.
    The interpretation of those results is worthy of further consideration but the results still show that consciousness has had an influence on a material systems.
    Now you say that because it comes from the edges of science it's not worth consideration even though it ticks all of the boxes you require for validity.

    • bring this up is that science relies on evidence and tests rather than some a priori knowledge about the existence of god.ukit2

    • This thread is about comparing the scientific process to the blind belief in myths, such as religionmonospaced
    • That's what the religion thread is about, no?Morning_star
    • Besides you claimed that there is no evidence for paranormal phenomena. There is.
