9 AnswersParapsychology1 decade agoYahoo skeptics: How do you justify the assertion "There is no evidence for ESP"?
...in the face of the evidence for ESP that actually has been published in peer-reviewed journals, and statements such as that by Dr. Ray Hyman (probably the most academically-respected skeptic), who has acknowledged that such research represents some of the most carefully-done science today, and that there is an effect demonstrated that can't be attributed to fraud or error (but which he of course isn't yet ready to accept as ESP -- he wants to "wait and see").
11 AnswersParapsychology1 decade agoWhy is meta-analysis condemned when used in parapsychology, yet it is accepted in other scientific research?
Meta-analysis is often used to evaluate statistics in parapsychology experimentation. It has also been widely adopted as a valuable tool for more mainstream scientific research. Yet skeptics condemn its use in parapsychology, while saying little about it in other disciplines.
