I think we don’t say that. We say only that there is no evidences. The one list of link you gave dod not provide evidences, Imo. > The problem with this attitude is that it is end of story.

If the existing experience were convincing, the simplest theory is that we transmit information by radio waves. Brains are known to send such waves. But some people reject that idea because they add that telepathy has to be non local, making the protocol of the experience even more doubtful with respect to such a claim. > > Why do people waste their lives playing the "smart skeptic" card dismissing > everything instead of actually doing something about trying to find an > explanation ? On the contrary, there are many explanations possibles, but no convincing experience showing the existence of the phenomena. This does not mean that we disbelieve in such phenomenon, we just don’t find convincing paper, nor even convincing definition of what “telepathy” could be. > How is an explanation to be found if they reject from the very start the > phenomenon ? But which phenomenon. Please, if you believe there is a convincing paper, cite it (apology if you did that already). Just one paper. The one that you find convincing. > They say: "Oh, but we are not rejecting it, we are actually encourage > scientists to prove it!".

For me it is a bit of a mystery that radio-wave-like telepathy has not yet been detected. To claim it has been detected, we need a repeatable experience, and to repeat it with different groups of researchers. We don’t criticise you for searching evidences, but we are not convinced when you claim that such evidence exist. I think. The fact that you find it obvious that such thing exists and has been observed trows some doubt too.
