Mr Murphy,
Quote
In few, if any, science textbooks or records of Nobel laureates will you find the name of a bona fide and publicly acknowledged occultist or clairvoyant. This, however, is not because such individuals never contributed anything to the history of science.
Might I suggest the above is misleading?
To be accurate, it should read "In few, if any, science textbooks or records of Nobel Laureates, will you find any advance to our knowledge of science brought about through the practice of occultism and/or claivoyance. This is not to say no occultist or clairvoyant has made any contribution to science, it is just that they have not done so through using the 'discplines' mentioned."
I appreciate you wished the piece to reflect your opinion that occultists and/or clairvoyants have identified/predicted scientific knowledge or principles using those non-scientific practices, but the truth is that the claims of those occultists and/or clairvoyants do not include the necessary mechanisms for their testing and reproducibility - which are criteria for the announcement of such findings as 'science'.
