Supernatural or Paranormal simply means something that is beyond the normal...what we perceive in our day to day. Being in the top 1% of the population for IQ would fall under that term. I also take it you haven't read up on Quantum Physics, and how things on an atomic level possibly do not react to the same laws as our normal sized world does. Debunkers are great, and necessary...I've seen numerous shows and interviews with James Randi. However, if that sentence is your sole rebuttal, I'm a bit dissapointed. The main point of the piece was to show that people were totally willing to believe in something as long as it didn't directly affect them, but when it came to believing that someone close to them could do the same things, would recoil in fear. I spoke about how we use media and events to put our fears in neat little pockets tucked away so we do not have to deal with them. The point was not to say that the "paranormal" exists or does not. And to say that those who believe in the "supernatural" have too much time on their hands, means that anyone who holds any form of religious belief what-so-ever also does, that any scientist who pondered on some crazy never before proven question does. I did not try to prove that ghosts or psychic powers exist, I simply posed a question. To never question and take everything at face value means that one never advances, it would mean we'd still be in the dark ages. There's no proof that the paranormal does not exist...Mr. Randi can only debunk people and their actions. It would be like saying God doesn't exist...you can not prove that either...or that God does. People who take the time to poke fun at others, have too much time on their hands. I take that to mean that you’re a full out atheist then?
