(13,409 posts)I like to consider myself a fairly scientific person. As such, I tend to only believe in things I've seen scientific proof of. That being said, I think there is quite a bit that resides outside of the bounds of being tested by science today, though I think we might be getting closer to proving the existence of the paranormal, extra-sensory perception and such. We've been hamped by decades of science being afraid to tackle such issues for fear of being labeled quackery. Also, we've missed out on decades of scientific testing on entheogenic substances such as LSD, DMT and Psilocyn/Psilocybin because of their schedule 1 status. I think we're going to see a lot of things which were considered to be outside the realm of science being incorporated into the fold in the next few decades.
For the record, my answer to the question would have been 'no'.
