Um, the team doesn't keep archaeological pieces, it's usually property of the state or land owner.
While this may have cut it in the past, it doesn't in the modern scientific field of archaeology where bones and seeds are equally as important as golden rods.

The fact is that Randi has yet to actually take part in a test, IIRC. The preliminary tests are always overseen by a volunteer, so far, no one has passed a preliminary test based on the standards they set themselves.
I hardly think that makes Randi subjective.

The way it has always worked, since inception, is that conditions for a past test are set by by the person who wishes to win the million dollars and a third party who oversees the test (not Randi). So it is half from both sides.

It isn't 100% accurate, it is as accurate as the person claiming a power says. The final test is based 50% on the person who wants the million.

but the comment was
"Why do people think telepathy is supernatural? Isn't that in itself an assumption based on nothing substantial? Theories are fine, assumptions surely are not, since by their nature they have to be subjective?
The fact that science cannot explain something doesn't automatically make it supernatural, it just makes it yet to be explained."

Actually, my ex-girlfriend used to tell her dog to watch for me and tell if I was coming. The dog loved me, knew my car, and knew me quite well after five years.
However there were numerous times the dog would get up and have false positives (which I doubt Sheldrake took into account), and the occasional false negative.
My point, when we had observers on both ends the entire time, it

Randi dismissed dowsers because he has never had one meet the parameters set up for a test, even considering the dowsers help build the test and set the rate of success required.
He never said he would stop testing dowsers because they were wrong, just that there had never been a success and that it was not surprising.

Paper Lens
Actually, it's not what Randi considers to be real, but when conditions agreed upon ahead of time by the tester and the testee are met. So if the dowser said he would show a 75% rate but only reaches 50%, that means the rate of success he said he had and considered a supernatural power did not exist.
As for the dog thing, this has no supernatural explanation, it could be perfectly na

Pet stores and vet hospitals still run the risk of mice and rats, because of the food. Part of this may be the fact that many rats/mice carry certain parasites which cause them to head toward cat urine.

I am a bit skeptical of this. If you have a cat which goes after mice/rats, it's more likely to get fleas itself. It seems to me that this would enhance the likelihood of getting fleas that carried the plague.

But, as the article illustrates, they don't do it.
This would also challenge your idea of "east" orientation, as the sun does not rise due east in all areas, based on latitude, the sun rises to the south east or north east.
This also assumes early morning services, which do not occur in all churches.

Did you read the article, it seems to dispute this soundly. I don't know if I would consider a range between 38 and 128 "within a few degrees".

My thought, you don't want your church to perfectly align with the sun, or someone will get it right in the eyes during services.

Well that might not be true, but one can bet money pretty safely that if the c14 dates say it, it's likely true.

Actually, McCrone strongly disagreed with the blood, and the fact that after centuries it does not appear at all oxygenated as real blood would. McCrone also found texts explaining a 14th century technique to produce images just like the shroud.
Joe Nickell has produced similar images to the shroud using simple and available methods.
A further argument is that no technique known from

There is tons wrong with this article.
First, there have not been studies per se which show the shroud might be older than the 13th or 14th century ce. There a bunch of theories put forward by shroud supporters, all of which have been strongly questioned and at points many disproved by scientists.
Second, the Shroud of Turin appears to have blood, but analysis has shown its more likely t
