The whole scientific comminity defines ghosts and UFOs are

paranormal. You are

the only retard who thinks otherwise.

Liar, ask James Oberg if he thinks UFO's are paranormal.

And so James Oberg is "the whole scientific community" now? Wrong

again! Not

even close! An exception to the rule is not the rule.

In the scientific method an exception to a rule negates the rule.

You didn't cite the scientific method in anything you've said yet.

why I just did above there

No you didn't. I see no references to any legitimate textbooks or

authorities.

scientific method has nothing to do with appealling to authrorities

Then that negates your reference to James Oberg then. Nicely done.

noone called on him as a authority just an exception which negated you
''rule''

And I asked you what the scientific method is, not to perform it...and

that

requires that you demonstrate some legitimate research that has been peer
reviewed by the appropriate people.

the scientific method is

1 observation and description of a phenomenon or group of phenomenon

2 formulation of an hypothesis to explain the phenomenon

3 use of the hypothesis to predict the existance of other phenomenon or
predict new the results of new observations of the phenomenon

4 performance of experimental tests of the predictions by independant
experimenters

hardly takes a text book to understand

If you believe that the scientific method can be summarized in four simple
steps, you are way more ignorant than I thought you could ever be. You

aren't

even close.

actually that is the standard defination of the scientfic method so I quess
we know who is showing there ignorance all the rest the peer review and the
Journals are communication facilitators >
