Scientists critical of parapsychology state that its extraordinary claims demand extraordinary evidence if they are to be taken seriously.
Science works, the scientific method works and has been applied successfully to a lot of advancements we have today. Parapsychology has not.
The statement about "extraordinary evidence" IS A FALLACY; you should try making an argument that does not rely on the notion of fallacy, and try reading the links I posted in detail so that you see where you are going wrong; I have already addressed this in great detail with my own references.
Perhaps you have your references and I have mine. So be it; I have provided a lot to consider; anyone interested can ask me for the specific links relating the proof of GOD; I will summarize some of the best information right here:
Dozens of the brightest and most eminent researchers asserting their opinion, many lifelong and famous skeptics like Sartre, Ayers, Doyle, Flew.
The personality of a chess grandmaster; the prior personality was replicated by a medium.
Psychics and telekinesis were tested by the CIA and other spy agencies and on camera by psychologists.
A wide variety of information disclosed via mediumship and ET communication, many serious cases, particularly the Phoenix Journals.
Lazy Layman's Guide to Quantum Physics, a convincing disclosure that GOD is an infinite being and actually exists:
www.higgo.com/quantum/laymans.htm40 top cases from AECES, 52 points of evidence from the near-death site, evidence of skeptical fallacies and skeptical misdirection, research from the meticulous Ian Stevenson, reference to other important books like
Irreducible Mind which is to my knowledge the latest book on the parapsychology controversy.
First of all, it is not a fallacy. Extraordinary claims need extraordinary evidence not because we ask it but because that is what is needed. I can easily prove, for instance that water boils at 100 C. It's not an extraordinary claim, it's an ordinary claim and it is easy to prove. However, I can not prove that Mister Hankey the Christmas Poo created this universe because I am missing 99% of the information needed. I can't see mr hankey, can't feel him, can't hear him, can find absolutely no traces of him, can't calculate him, my story of mister hankey contradicts with actual science. All I have is that 1% which represents my testimonial and the testimonial of many other people who claim to have seen God in dreams. We also have a very old book that speaks about Mr Hankey, but we can't prove all of those stories because we have no evidence and some of them are miracles done by mr hankey that contradict the laws of our reality. So in order to prove that Mr Hankey the Christmas Poo created the universe, I must take it from the start, from that book, prove the stories are right, prove that it was indeed him and I must also contradict our actual scientific laws which are suspended in the eventuality of Mr Hankey being real, because that would mean that our whole system is flawed, our universe is not that old, our earth is not that old, stars are there to help us know what time it is, the sun is not supposed to keep life on this planet alive, his only role would be to let us know it's daytime, the moon would have the same role regarding the night, etc. How in the hell am I going to prove all of these without extraordinary evidence? It simply is necessary that the evidence is extraordinary, otherwise it is simple speculation, assumption.
Further on, parapsychology is missing this extraordinary evidence, it only has stories, nothing is observable. The worst type of evidence are testimonials, nothing can only be proved only by testimonial. Let us assume that parapsychology would be proved to be real, that would have nothing to do with the existence of God.
