I started this thread because of the following post, found elsewhere here:
Well, well – the skeptics will always win. "Uri Geller nonsense" is what all people are saying, without having studied paranormal metal-bending and only believing all that skeptics say about it. Even proponents here believe that Geller is a total fraud and magicians have been able to do all his tricks, and even better than he has done.
Geller-bending is a serious business. He has often cheated in his shows but there have also been many cases with "impossible" effects in more stringent experiments. Unfortunately loud skeptics have succeeded in making scientists and even parapsychologists to believe in their skeptical message, without studying the big picture of the phenomenon.
The problem is, whenever they show programmes involving "past lives" and "psychics" they're all immensely sensationalised. If they actually showed them like the lectures Dean et al do. It would be a lot better, and balanced. No Uri Geller nonsense, no stupid music, no crystal ball reading, no bigfoot, etc. Just a televised lecture of parapsychologists presenting their data. The exaggerated claims from delusional idiots is the kind of shit that allows entertainers like Derren Brown, Randi et al to flourish and further poisons the well of actual scientific research.
