1) Logic dictates that there are things we cannot explain.
I'd suggest reading this first if your brain needs help figuring out if there are things we can and cannot explain.

2) If you agree with 1, then you have to agree that the paranormal could be possible due to the same reason that we cannot explain basic simple scientific questions, such as why magnetic poles are always North/South and how animals with 1% our IQ can migrate 1000's of miles.

To immediately discount the paranormal shows you're not willing to accept things that you cannot explain with our current understanding of science, which is still in its infancy. I'm willing to bet it's related to particles we haven't discovered yet (anti-matter?). At this point, it's anyone's guess but there is a plethora of evidence available. If you think all of it is staged for attention, then you (and others in this thread) lack cognitive reasoning ability which starts at admitting that there is multitude of things that modern science cannot explain.

Ah yes, Buzzfeed, well known to be experts on science. :biggrin:

Did you read that article? Because it's not at all positing the bullshit you're spouting.

Um, no...holy shit. Can at least some of you God/paranormal/etc pushing people at least try to learn basic logic? This is so consistently a problem for you people that it is absolutely the main factor in why you don't understand why your arguments are laughably bad. I love how you keep trying to dress things up in scientific terms while still showing that the basic logic you use is flawed. And even better, how you keep saying you're using logic when it's clear you don't understand it and that's why you keep coming up with these flawed conclusions.

Others have already pointed out why your reasoning is terrible on this ("we can't explain it, so therefore the logical conclusion is paranormal!" and then try to spin people saying just because we don't know it now doesn't mean we'll never know as though then there's absolutely the possibility that we'll discover the horribly nonsensical stuff you keep trying to push as being true).

Oh, there's a plethora of evidence available? Evidence of what? Oh that's right, you don't even know. But hey there's evidence that proves it!

Again, you need to go back and learn what basic "cognitive reasoning" actually is, because you're completely ignoring it in order to make your beliefs acceptable (to yourself) and why people keep just laughing you off.

I don't even know how to respond to this, because the whole post is responding to things I didn't even say. You really do struggle at this logic thing don't you?

Intelligence does not depend on brain size, but on brain organization. This is how flies can land on poop and dolphins recognize themselves in a mirror.

I don't understand your confusion. Speed's post was literally "Supernatural stuff can exist because we don't know why magnets have north and south poles!" We aren't sure what causes gravity, we just understand the properties of it's existence. That doesn't mean other supernatural phenomena exist, even those attempting to explain gravity (such as a religious explanation that God's force is holding everything down, so we don't float away).

We do know why they have north and south poles.

We know what causes gravity. We know why gravitational fields exist.

No, we don't. Magnetism and gravity are phenomena. Unless, you can find otherwise, please refrain from responding. If you have scientific research showing why bodies of mass attracted each other (gravity) or explain why ferromagnetism occurs, I don't care what you have to say about the topic.

I take it you have had almost no college level physics.

You are all over the place with your debate as well confusing gravity itself with gravitational fields.

This is a little easy read for you to understand, you are a bit off base: http://thehappyscientist.com/science-experiment/gravity-theory-or-law

For magnetism, you may think Curie-Wiess is a European brand of appliances, but I'd read a bit into it.
