Catholic or nonreligious teens are most willing to believe in them

Is this the first tax dollar study that has lumped Catholics and nonbelievers together?

I don't believe in astronomy, but there may be something to ESP. Back in high school science class during a color sensory experiment, I freaked out the class by being able to identify construction paper color by merely holding my hand over it while being blind folded. I could also identify playing cards by only looking at the backs (unmarked!) which eventually scared me so much I refuse to try it now.

I agree about ESP. My Mom used to do the card recognition thing but stopped because she felt it was against her Christian beliefs. However, she was able to tell us what we were thinking whenever she tried. It was frightening to be a teenager with a Mom who could read your mind!

"I don't believe in astronomy"

You meant to say astrology, I presume.

Hmm .... they don't really break it down that well (full results of churchgoing Catholics vs. non-churchgoing, etc) but Catholics SHOULD be more likely to say they communicate with the dead because we pray to the saints in Heaven for their intercession and view seances, tarot, etc seriously (in a negative way) because we believe in the existence of of Satan and his minions.

Color could theoretically be physically detectable, if you think about it.

Think of "Light" as a stream of tiny clusters of pulsating, energized photons. Color variations are caused by energy differences, which result in differences in the rate at which those *little* photons pulsate (wavelength).

The question in this case would be: is it possible for a human hand to perceive differences in photon energy?

Fascinating.
