53. You can claim that dogs have ESP till you are blue in the fact, but don't claim...

to have "scientific proof" then try to shift the burden on those asking for that "proof".

Oh, and don't call it scientific, or science, and don't claim that a conspiracy is suppressing your "research" when you cannot produce consistent results using scientifically valid controls for accuracy.

And no we don't have to be at the pinnacle of knowledge to know certain things aren't true, indeed, in science, we ADMIT we don't know, we don't try to shoehorn in superstitious beliefs about ESP, etc. to pretend to have knowledge, that isn't knowledge, that is belief. People need to learn the difference.

Dogs most likely don't have ESP, certainly not in any way that Sheldrake believes, indeed, we would have to wrong about a LOT of biology and the nature of matter for his beliefs to be factual. What dogs do have, though, are extraordinary senses compared to humans, they can hear sounds and smell smells that I can't even imagine, just like I can see more shades of color and with more vibrancy that they could ever imagine.
