Yes, scientists are human, and therefore a very few will disbelieve some things without testing the evidence. But the world of science is built on testing evidence. Experiments are repeated and checked before any verdict is arrived at, and it is extremely unusual for any scientist to step outside of that methodology and mock a properly conducted experiment. Take for example the recent observation that some particles apparently travel faster than the speed of light. The observation was advanced tentatively, because the scientists were aware how deeply this challenged the whole basis of modern physics, there wasn't a mass mocking of these claims by sceptical scientists, what has happened is that other scientists are attempting to repeat the experiment. That's how science works.
But if you were conducting your analysis without bias towards your own unsupported beliefs, you would be forced to admit that scientists, in general, adopt a very rigorous attitude towards evidence, and that most scientists who have looked at claims of the paranormal have found them to be unsupported by verifiable evidence. The fact that a few, in the past, have derided claims of discovery in the past, doesn't help your case, because so many discoveries are made that receive due scrutiny without being derided.
I stand by what I say. I was a research scientist for a number of years, and I know about the application of good scientific practice. I know how peer review works, and I know that, so far, you have not presented a single shred of repeatable evidence to support your cause. If you could, if there was some really good evidence, then it would be all over the news channels. The fact that you see all scientists as people who are closed minded, who are deliberately refusing to accept your evidence, speaks volumes - it doesn't even whisper that the entire scientific community is closed minded, it screams that your assessment of the scientific community is deliberately and falsely tailored to keep your own faith position alive.
lol - Martin - do you think its not on every channel because it is false?
Why do you think it (supernatural phenomenon) still goes on and is around us (has been going on since the dawn of human existence) and is reported and documented by many people all over the world and through time?
I have had personal
first hand experiences of what you might call 'strange' phenomenon - have you?
Both myself and my husband saw a ghost - at the same time. Have you ever seen a ghost?
I have predicted events which have later happened. Have you?
I have heard a voice speak to me (on more than one occasion) but not from any family members in the house. Have you?
I have investigated what happens at a Spiritualist Church - have you? (and I mean actually been to one or more churches on a number of occasions and seen various mediums at work, even been on a Church committee)
I have read countless accounts/info/experiences of others on NDE, seances, experiments, transcripts, recordings .... (and I could go on and on) - have you?
Until you actually have gone 'out there' and bothered to investigate for yourself, really you are a lacking in knowledge of this area - as you can only go off the skeptics sites you visit (as they would tend to fit closely to your mindset it seems). It is your choice if you want to pull your head out of the sand or not. Nobody can force you!
Also I have given you science links to check out - previously.
Look up 'Windbridge Institute' - then actually take a proper good look at the site.
