Some of those experiments look more like ESP than anything else. I don't deny that such things take place, but the establishment does. They've forgotten that "science" just means looking for knowledge. Ruling things out, or off-limits is generally unscientific.

I myself complained to my roommate that the only thing wrong with M & Ms was that they don't come in dark chocolate. Never told anyone else, but within 6 months they came out with purple-packaged, dark chocolate M & Ms. As the chocolates are a most important food group, I consider this to be a milestone. Maybe I'm biased a little.

It's a shame we don't always have all the facts. The rat maze thing could be a result of scent: more rats following the same path; or they could have accounted for scent, and taken countermeasures.

I'm curious about which things are open to question, in your opinion. You still seem dogmatic about "evolution did happen", and "natural selection has been observed".

I'm also concerned that this discussion (already somewhat off-topic) is going to become directionless.
