[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 641129, member: 4386"] James Randi (the guy who showed up Yuri Geller)? Yes, a million dollars should have been an incentive. Strictly you start with a hypothesis and test it (not only for things that support it. but for things that do not support it). It is not necessarily pure guess at the beginning, there can be a statistical basis that suggests it (eg all apples seem to fall on my head not float into space). If it is not supported you can either reject it outright or modify it and try again. Ultimately you get a theory that satisfies all tests (e.g. continental drift), or completely reject it (at least unless later evidence appears). If it is well established and can be quantified (eg so a value can be predicted as with Newton and gravity) it becomes a law. Divining does not get to the statistical suggestion stage..... [/QUOTE]
