I decided to use specific cases of poltergeist activity as my first examples of paranormal phenomena since it's a widely reported category and also a concrete one. The viewer should note that this video is being made in response to some discussions with atheists in which they claimed either that "no paranormal activity has ever been proven" or that "all paranormal phenomena have been disproven." When pressed to defend these generalized statements they responded with logic muddled, second hand, and lacking in objectivity and thoroughness. So I responded with videos first clarifying to the best of my abilities what is meant by proof, and then with some specific cases. Incidentally, Richard Dawkins uses pathetically inadequate "explanations" for paranormal phenomena and experiences in his God Delusion book, ascribing the entire field basically to simple error or brain induced hallucination - misinterpreting the "real world." This is in no way sufficient in most paranormal cases that have not proven to be hoaxes, including the ones listed here. So Dawkins himself is gonna hear from me if I get the time. If you're going to try to be objective about things (Dawkins considers himself a scientists) then you shouldn't be engaged in offering sweeping, overgeneralized, even irrelevant dismissals of actual observed phenomena. That is, as I'm sure you'd agree, unscientific. I read a whole biography of Matthew Manning so I know more about it than is shown in this video. The entirety of the phenomena is even more extraordinary than what is shown here. Matthew Manning Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfXgw7...
