Those not willing to examine this evidence are following in the footsteps of Cardinal Bellarmine with his refusal to look through Galileo’s telescope. And the refusal is for the same essential reasons: sociology and arrogance.
For those who do not wish to seal themselves off from all evidence that contradicts their assumptions on the nature of reality, I offer the following:

That’s just a scratch on the surface of the evidence for these kinds of phenomena. . . For those who have not actually read the research on this subject, I invite you to get out of your sociological fishbowl and read something new. There are dozens more peer-reviewed, published papers on psi-type phenomena available online for free, email me if you want links to them.
