I do agree with the replies that I have had so far, it's just that
playing Devil's advocate generates great debate...(and it is fun!)

Another point that has just sprung to mind is that does it really
matter if Science or anything cannot explain these? If these
phenomenon can do no harm, the truth may not be needed.
People can believe whole hearteadly about anomalies and that they can
predict things or whatever, and again if no harm is done, then how
can we be critical towards the individual? This then falls into the
realms of religion. People believe in an almighty thing because,
supposedly, they have been touched and have communicated with it.
Therefore, is religion another phenomena outside the realm of human
knowledge (and even a parapsychological experience believed by
many?).

Thanks for replying and do not hold what I originally said against
me! I just love a good debate......

Craig.
