In no other field of scientific endeavor do otherwise intelligent people feel free to make public claims based on prejudice and ignorance. Yet in relation to psychic phenomena, committed materialists feel free to disregard the evidence and behave irrationally and unscientifically, while claiming to speak in the name of science and reason. They abuse the authority of science and bring rationalism into disrepute.

The science delusion is the belief that science already understands the nature of reality in principle, leaving only the details to be filled in.

I think that the 'laws of nature' are also prone to evolve; I think they are more like habits than laws.

Contemporary science is based on the philosophy of materialism, which claims that all reality is material or physical.

I have been a scientist for more than 40 years, having studied at Cambridge and Harvard. I researched and taught at Cambridge University, was a research fellow of the Royal Society, and have more than 80 publications in peer-reviewed journals. I am strongly pro-science.

Science at its best is an open-minded method of inquiry, not a belief system.

Because a truly skeptical position would be a very uncertain one.
