We have "science" and we have "pseudo-science." Until proven otherwise, this is pseudo-science. When the "materialists" are forced to "open their minds" to pseudo-science, all manner of nonsense will come flying through the open window and the logic filter will be useless. ESP, dowsing, touch therapy, etc. It's not that science isn't "open minded," it's just that it's (usually) immune to balderdash and flim-flam.

Suggest you may wish to do a little Web search on "Rupert Sheldrake," in your interest in testable results.

I hope you don't mean the delayed choice quantum eraser.

There is tons of evidence for the efficacy of ESP. It just doesn't fit into the boxes and cubbyholes of the current Materialistic paradigm. Can't duplicate it in the lab? Doesn't mean it isn't real. Dean Radin writes a well-documented book about currently unexplainable effects (by Materialistic science)? Fine, ignore it. Minds do definitely need to be opened. Denial is not an adequate response to the "unexplainable". And the sky won't fall if we are willing to admit ALL that there is into the realm of scientific consideration.
