If it exists it can be measured, or in what way can it be said to be existing?
Yes, good question, but what if, as others have suggested, it is the
relatively imprecise capability of the measurement devices themselves, that
leads us to conclude a judgment of no value for various practices?
The problem is that science hasn't been focused on these fields until
lately. The autonomic nervous system study is just one beginning of the
exploration. Some scientists believe that calcium in our nervous system
acts like antennas that can radiate out information as well as receive.

those who have repeatedly said, like any sane person, that they hold science in
high regard, but also, have an open mind wr to issues which seem contrary to
what science tells us in its current state of discovery.
Salyavin, I find it rather humorous that you appear to consider yourself a
final authority on what science can or cannot prove.
Certainly it's a fair statement to say, "we don't have any scientific basis to
