There are other organizations worldwide, dedicated spirit of skeptical and scientific research in the paranormal.In this struggle between science and pseudoscience, how useful it proves the existence of such organizations?Among the criticisms of the CIS include, for instance, that the dogmatic and aggressive approach to paranormal issues, an approach based on preconceived ideas. Another criticism – arising from the first – is that it discourages aggressive serious about paranormal investigations. Which CSI is better that help maintain balance.

The media is hungry for the paranormal (look at us!) Happenings and sometimes also evoke gender media firestorm, disseminating ideas that too often people take them on the fly (if it says in the paper!) And he had taken, without also consider that there may be other interpretations. These other interpretations may be offered by organizations such as CSI and many others of the same gender, which helps us to look at the problem more objectively. And as the argument to claim that there are skeptics among scientists comprehensive minds, who understand the big picture, with all its implications, this is a long quote from the writings of the astronomer Carl Sagan, himself a former member of the CIS (the time when it was called CSICOP – see above) and truly lit a skeptical scientist.:

“I’ve ever heard a skeptic expressing themselves on a higher tone and full of contempt? Certainly, yes. To my sorrow retrospect, I heard that tone in my voice even unpleasant. Human imperfections on both sides of the issue. Even when it is used with care, scientific skepticism may be perceived as arrogant, opinionated, insensitive and contemptuous of the feelings and deepest beliefs of other people. CSCIOP is imperfect. In some cases, his criticisms are justified. But from my point of view, CSICOP serves an important social purpose – it is a well known organization in the press can call when you want to know and the other version of the story, especially when it is considered that any chance of stunning scope pseudoscience can become subject news.CSICOP is a counter – though still not strong enough – the greed from pseudoscience, which seems to be second nature for so many publications. “

At this point, we must recognize that the paranormal – to the extent that, the paranormal, we understand things that are not yet explained scientifically proven consistent results in experimental and controlled test conditions – no, even if too often in the form less spectacular. Perhaps fiecarte of us once had a premonitory dream, a sense of deja vu, a feeling of imminent threat that turned out to be correct … The degree to which we leave impressed, seduced or frightened by these events of an unknown reality varies from one person to another. For some of us, the world is full of signs that all have meaning, others admit, in a spirit more “scientific”, that everything can be explained, but the weather has not yet come of those explanations.

Personally, I think the world is not down to what we perceive with our senses, or register with switches, I think it’s possible to exist in the universe around us, yet unknown forms of energy, for which no detection devices have been invented and the appropriate action . There was a time when magnetism, for instance, was a misunderstood force, known by its effects, but unexplained, and the strange properties of blackish stone to magnetize an iron pin, causing it to head north, were regarded as a kind of natural magic.Gradually I learned to know, understand and master these forces, to build and measurement devices that tell us when these forces act and how big they are. With a critical and objective approach we hope not only to remove the machines of lies – that there are proliferating, unfortunately in this area – but to reach the other side of the problem: to find, perhaps, something new and extraordinary about other forms of manifestation of what exists in the universe. Who knows if, one day, our children’s children will not learn in school about telepathy, as today learn about gravity and electricity?
