I'm not attempting to disprove anything - just responding to the claim that the police use, and endorse the use of, and benefit from the use of, psychics. That isn't true of Scotland Yard. I doubt that it's also true of other UK police forces.
The fact that a particular phenomenon has no readily apparent logical explanation isn't an excuse for jumping to rash conclusions and attributing it, without any evidence, to the supernatural. Where evidence is lacking I'd prefer to wait until it emerges. And that makes me a 'fundamentalist'? Just seems like common sense to me.
Yes i undertand you seem to not be pushing a barrow as such.
and;
i actualy fully endorse the police force or any other type of organisation
NOT endorsing any type of thing like psychic use (assuming it was possible).
and, i also like to consider myself a sceptic in the scientific sense of the word applying scintific theory for scientific purposes.
that said i have certain read some things and expereinced some things that simply defy any known (currently known) physics laws.
the most predominent would have to be the mystery of the dissapearing women, when i was a child.
it was very odd indeed.
one moment a women screaming help help
the next minute BOOM a wall of glass followed by a wall of flames engulfed where she was standing, and there was nothing left of any type of human body material where she had been standing.
no way out from where she was a sheer 20 fot concrete wall behind her, running along about 100 meters away from her.
the explosion come from infront of her
and i was standing on the other side of her (her right side with my best mate on the way to the movies)
we both witnessed it.
now im sure there MAY be a perfectly good scientific explanation, however...
im not sure that current science laws explains it.
myths and folk law and some religions might call her a "siren" or possible sucubus (i have done a fair bit of reading topicaly on various things).
i do not catagorise it as anything as a fact.
just something unexplained.
