Paranormal or Plainlynormal?

[sparkle]

Sometimes borders seem not clear. Therefore my questions. What do you consider paranormal?

 

[Guyute]

Anything that cant be explained.....

..... by our current understanding of the laws of nature.

I don't really see how anything really could be paranormal. I don't see that there is a set of things which are Normal (which I assume we would consider objective reality) and then those things witch are "paranormal" or somehow outside of objective reality, because if they were indeed real, then there is no dividing line which separates them from being part of said objective reality.

Really I think that the only lines which can be drawn are between paradigms. There are those things which fit within our own paradigms, which would be normal, and those things which would not, which would be paranormal. This alone should be evidence, not that there are things outside normal existence, this is not true, but only that our own paradigms may need to be expanded to allow for objective reality. In the real world, this is a big part of what we call science. Provisional agreement with an idea based upon conclusive evidence that something indeed is.

spymoose:
good question. It was not possible to make it multiple-choice. Just pick the one you would certainly put under "paranormal" and vote for it. Thanks.

I don't see any of the above as paranormal. Sorry.
