Parapsychology is an attempt to study supposed [[paranormal]] phenomenon involving the human mind. This includes such things as [[psychokinesis]], [[clairvoyance]], and [[telepathy]]. The goal is to apply the rigors of the scientific method and the advancements learned in studying the human mind learned in psychology to the world of the paranormal. In practice most of the experiments are of very poor quality design. They use poor controls (if any at all), usually have small sample sizes, ill defined terms and procedures, and rarely apply the concepts of [[double-blind]] studies.

Christians regard parapsycology in much the same way as other skeptics, but when the so-called "black arts" are employed, it is seen as evil. Conjouring and other black arts are forbidden in the Bible.[[User:Apologetic|Apologetic]] 20:14, 3 June 2007 (EDT)
