Yeah it was going well in the start until people started arguing haha
I dont think that was the purpose of this but I guess people want proof of what they dont believe. I bet if someone proves to them that its real they are gonna start doing it themselves. It shouldnt be like this though because from what i read from different sites, you have to believe in it even if there is no proof,

This is not true. If he were a strong telekinetic, enough to create a force field so powerful to block even a missle, maybe, but a weak telekinesis does not do that. People look at you differently. And not even the good type of differently. They think that you are a person who should go to the mental hospital. And in this time and age, it is always most useful to study harder than develop your telekinesis. For, studying, assures you a job, where telekinesis and all that is a gamble.

The frequency with which a certain song comes up on a computer or an item appears in a video game is not controlled by anything that can be physically manipulated. Its software, not hardware controlled.

There doesn't have to be anything wrong with a random number generator in order for it to pick some numbers more frequently than others.
As a demonstration, try rolling a dice a few dozen times and keep a tally chart of how many times each number comes up. The odds are that the numbers will not appear an equal number of times, some will appear more often than others.
Is it telekinetic ? Most likely, no.

Thanks, I got my LOL in for today with that statement - that's some funny stuff right there. That's like saying "I believe in language, but not vocal cords". Anyway, you wanted proof, so here's some good reading on the shortcomings of random number generators:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_number_generatorOf course, the above information is stored in a computer, which is a very scientific machine, so by your logic it may not even exist. You should probably walk away from the magic science box you are typing with right now, before it disappears into non-belief!
EVERYTHING is science. If psychics are ever proven to be real, future science will explain how it works. You can't have psychics without science, but you can easily have science without psychics. There may be some things science currently can't explain, but for everything it can't, there's a hundred thousand others that it can. To dismiss it and opt for fantasy and magic is pure ignorance.

Well science is real by your standards. But it is something I have ceased to believe in. If psychics is proven to be real, it is science that will explain how it works.

But if ever it is proven, science will take hold of it, in other words, steal the credit that the people who have believed in it has discovered it. Letting it go into science, which has scoffed at the idea before, becoming the father figure for psychics.
I wish to differ moonie, I feel that for everything one thing science can prove, there are many that they can't because science is limited in their beliefs and it is that limit that limits them.

Asking for someone to show their "ability" with a video (which they never do, wonder why) has nothing to do with showing scientific proofs.

The monitor in front of me is no more scientific than psychic skills. If the monitor was not invented, and yet people keep saying there is something like that would people believe in them?

Sporkling, to say that you 'don't believe in science' is incorrect.
You live in a building that was constructed with the help of mathematics and physics principles. If you take medicine when you are ill or a paracetamol for a headache you have the sciences of chemistry and biology to thank. Your telephone, your television, your computer, your fridge, your oven - these are all developed again with the use of science - real principles and concepts that are implemented everywhere in your everyday life.
To say you don't believe in science is like saying you don't believe in computers or you don't believe in telephones or anything else that you take for granted and use on a daily basis. Science is the means with which we understand how the world works and makes all of the above and more possible.

If psychics were real, whould it be a common knowledge or a scientific fact? I am sure that it will be a scientific fact. Science takes people's knowledge and makes it fact. It has made mistakes.
For example, the 4 minute mile, someone dared to changellenge it. And then, the idea was scraped. .So now you can tell me, is science actually real? Or does it only make assumptions? Because it made assupmptions. Science did not really "know". And most obviously, they just assumed. As seen from the 4 minute mile, all the nonsense about not being able to run faster than a mile in 4 minutes. Why do people believe that us humans cannot run faster than that? Because they were said by powerful figures. The scientists. In that case, how can it be said that it is any different from us believers, assuming and believing?
Sure, you can say science has made many mistakes but it made a lot of great discoveries. Then let me take you to the future. 10,000 years. What would the world be like? Everything can change. Even the most basic and most common of knowledge that we know now.

If psychic phenomena is indeed real then i'm quite sure one day it will become an accepted science.

People said a four minute mile couldn't be done, but then it was satisfactorily demonstrated that it could be done and from then on it was accepted as possible.
Some people say psychokinetic phenomena don't exist. Nobody has satisfactorily demonstrated that it does, but it's possible that someone will at some point. Its also possible however, that they won't, and that it doesn't.
Until that conclusive, irrefutable demonstration occurs most people will not be convinced, just like most people were not convinced someone could run a mile in four minutes until someone actually did it.

If psychics were real
IF. Lets see video evidence, and we can discuss it some more.
