Hi PDosterM,

For the record, CSICOP aren't skeptics. They're skepti-bunkers. That is, they don't adopt the attitude of "there is insufficient evidence to reach a conclusion." Rather, they adopt the attitude of "if you can't prove it happens, in a laboratory, repeatably, beyond and to the exclusion of any shred of doubt, then it doesn't happen."

CSICOP encourages the critical investigation of paranormal and fringe-science claims from a responsible, scientific point of view and disseminates factual information about the results of such inquiries to the scientific community and the public.

More specifically, CSICOP

[ QUOTE ]
...does not reject claims on a priori grounds, antecedent to inquiry, but examines them objectively and carefully.
