Bill D,

I think I understand now why logic doesn't work for me. I can count a pile of something ten times and come up with a different number every time. I say this humorously, but it is also true. Numbers are very amorphous things to me. I'm sure this makes no sense to you at all, but I think it has something to do with the way my brain is wired.

I also want to say that I'm not advocating either for or against any of the paranormal concepts that have been brought up in this thread. I just had some problems with the way things were worded in some of the posts.

Naemanson,

Does your friend call herself a scientist? If she does, then I concede your point. If she doesn't, then I still have a problem with the word pseudoscientist. Perhaps metaphysician would be a better word.
