| | What is Parapsychology? Experts debate on Closer to Truth |
| | So my way of dealing with my childhood conflict between science and religion was to become a scientifically rigorous researcher in parapsychology, just like the people who started the Society for Psychical Research in the nineteenth century. | | | It began as an organized field of inquiry in the nineteenth century, when there was much conflict between science and religion. | | | Parapsychology can have practical relevance to real people's lives. |
