"Both require an absence of rational ability." Hyperbole ... there are scientists studying what you call paranormal occurrences, and they are studying the events using good tools of measurement and collection while applying scientific principles. What they discover, if they discover a causality, will be within the confines of the universe we can measure else they would be metaphysical.

There are of course charlatans also playing around in the areas of paranormal phenomena. It isn't fair to accuse scientists involved in studying paranormal occurrences of not being rational or not applying rational abilities.

"Hyperbole ..."

No, I was actually spot on. Belief in creationism/ID takes the same kind of irrationality as belief in ESP and other *paranormal* claims.

"What they discover, if they discover a causality, will be within the confines of the universe we can measure else they would be metaphysical."

To the extent that studies of the *paranormal* have been scientific, they have shown no evidence for such claims.

BTW, metaphysical doesn't mean supernatural/outside of this universe.

"There are of course charlatans also playing around in the areas of paranormal phenomena."

99%.

"It isn't fair to accuse scientists involved in studying paranormal occurrences of not being rational or not applying rational abilities."

I was actually speaking about the boobs who believe that junk.
