And I am saying that hard lined skeptics do not do this. A skeptic would diagnose the lung cancer patient by using the diagnosis of the fat man.
Lung cancer = geniune medium.
Weight = fake medium.
I hope, that clears that up.
That is NOT scientific funding is it. I am also trying to say to you that the scientific world gets blinked by the scientific merits of Sheldrakes work because the work is not accepted by leading scientific journals. The fact that he has to mainly turn to tv show interviews and own books to put forward hes theories means he gets as much scientific merit as Derek Acorah!! Do you think that is a fair way to look at his work on its scientific merits?
Funding for a scientific experiment, = scientific funding. If you are talking about the goverment funding his work, then it needs some application, and needs to be proved that it has application, otherwise it's just an endulgance to them.
As i said, his fellow scientists will judge if his work is worthy, then he will get publication - if they dont allow it because they dont like the area of research then it sucks, but thats life - just gotta fight on until your heard.
