How about referring directly to the original sources?

I should add that I'm not really a 'proponent' as such. In very many topics I am neutral and find the discussions interesting, especially when evidence is evaluated. For example I recently discussed some photographic evidence. But that doesn't mean I am a proponent of either that topic in general, or of that specific case. I'm usually a bystander in most discussions, with no axe to grind on the subject itself. I am however concerned that evidence is assessed on its own merits, and not on the basis on either my own or anyone else's prior opinions.

This is a very important paper that should be taken seriously by both proponents and skeptics:

W. A. H. Rushton. (1968). Serios Photos: If Contrary to Natural Law, Which Law? Journal of the Society for Psychical Research 44: 289-293.

I will try and upload it online so we can all discuss it.

I consider myself a proponent. But I'm not interested in seeing any person, place or thing banned.
If rational wiki can come up with a lucid and compelling refutation, I'm all ears . Otherwise it seems(in my experience) fairly effortless to dismiss their nonsense.

You would be reading a pastiche of New Age -No, more "out there" than just New Age...- arguments peppered with references that are *way* more conservative when discussing anything resembling the point that Deepak wants to make. But, just as our bard says of RW, I suppose that he isn't "lying" per se... Just extrapolating to a wild extent and omitting the other side.

However, I must make an exception for some of the papers where he appears as a "co-author"... Those that are mostly written by the other party (his "Quantum (Orch-OR) soul" paper with Hammeroff, for example, was quite tame).
"Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before..."
