My gripe comes not in the possibility of energies (as yet) unfound by science, because I would never say that we know everything that there is to know. My gripe comes from people saying they think they can detect/measure something and claim it's some magical/supernatural force and then do not listen when someone suggests a valid explanation or tells them what's wrong with their theory*.

Messianical behaviour is not the way to promote your ideas.

*Here's another problem. The proposers of these ideas don't treat them as a <i>theory</i>, but as fact.

>Messianical behaviour is not the way to promote your ideas.<

Very true (at least not here).

Well put, Cian and 4W. I'm sick of science being portrayed as insensitive, unfeeling and blinkered. There may be some practitioners of science who exhibit those traits, but the scientific method itself is a well-proven way to aid the advancement of human knowledge in any field of enquiry and being a scientist does not preclude an appreciation of the more intangible aspects of human perception.
