Because of a dubious past, there is much skepticism on the subject of
psychic phenomena .There is a long list of bogus mind
readers, fake mediums and magic tricks that used to be considered the real
things and all these factors provide a solid reason for the existence of
this skepticism. Such situations paved a way for the use of science to
verify the psychic community’s claims.
But this use of science can also berate even the sanest of people because while they may have 'seen' a ghost, science says, there is no proof.
1- Narrow-Minded Scientists.
It is a sad fact that the field of paranormal investigation couldn’t excite
or attract many real scientific minds. It is almost impossible to choose
the field of paranormal investigation as a solid and respected career as
this field has always been badly funded and it often receives unending
detest from typical scientists and reactionary skeptics.
The other group that is consisted of regular academic scientists is always
under pressure to validate their funding via their results.
2- The Insufficiency of Science.
No doubt the scientific method has brought a revolution in human life, however, this same method has certain
limitations and it does not have the ability measure the unseen feelings, emotions and some paranormal activity. The scientific method has, for the most part, failed at explaining things such as objects that have been thrown across a room without human intervention. In these cases, the scientific method has failed to produce any plausable evidence.
There are obvious examples where science fails to accurately measure certain things. There are no scientific instruments to measure the emotions of love,
hate or anger and yet they exist and nobody doubts their existence.
When think, we often think in words but there is no instrument to provide the
printout of what we are thinking.
3- Can Science Prove Unreality of Supernatural?
Can science prove that ghosts do not exist? No! It can only say that there
is no scientific verification of their existence to date but it cannot say
that they do not exist. Similarly, science cannot say that there are no psychic
manifestations such as spirits that can be seen. Science simply says that there is no such thing only because it cannot be measured using the scientific medthod.
