But then... how would his activity be supernatural or paranormal if simple nature (namely static electricity) could interrupt that?
The metaphysical is said to somehow interact with our physical world. Not sure how but that is what I've read.
Ie. Ghosts using electricity to manifest themselves.
"if i understand what you just declared, you just asserted that cern, the european center for nuclear research, disproved the existence of ghosts.".

BTW: I removed the nonsense post from your OP.
You mean the link within the post. Great thanks. Any chance of substituting the second link in my later post (from the sceptics site) and removing the quotes from the title? Or just removing the quotes from the subject title so it doesn't look like I'm quoting the defunct link?
I'll check out the Netflix documentary. Thanks for pointing it out.

@Village Idiot
Thanks for your last post. I agree re: Occam's Razor that the simplest answer is usually the right one, ie. it was a parlour trick.
I just like to "what if" myself. It's refreshing being able to do so after not be allowed to do so in the Jehovah's Witness world.

Here,
The above is a link from a sceptics site on the topic. I have now presented links from both sides of the argument (see my last post)

Again, for the record, I'm agnostic. (Check out my other thread)
I'm a big ol' fence sitter. Don't assume any of my posts have an agenda. Don't assume anything about me.
I like to play the what if card on all sides of the argument.

Randi is awesome.
The site hosting the article you linked to is pro-supernatural and anti-Randi.
Yes I realize that. Chances of finding an objective site that is neither pro or against Randi is nill.
But my whole point of posting was to show that the prize was not claimed which could can be considered a victory for the "paranormal is bunk" side.
I always try to see things from both sides.
If I would have posted from a pro Randi site someone else would have said that the site hosting the article is pro Randi and anti supernatural.
If there is a truly objective site on the topic I'd love to learn about it.

Appreciating Occam's Razor but also playing the what if card,
What if what the psychic said was true? Packing peanuts moving do not conclusively prove it was the psychic using their breath. Packing peanuts are little bundles of static electricity.

he was elected abbot in lombardy in 1078 a.d.. .
that than which nothing greater can be thought exists in the understanding.
Edited my previous post when I realized this thread had been necro'd by the previous poster (old thread being resurrected; a NO-NO in most discussion forums)
TLDR means "Too long, didn't read" as was the OP of this resurrected thread. Having to filter through walls of text to get to the main argument is usually not well received by many forum readers.
