Psychics-Credible or Phony

Hello this is your friendly neighborhood blogger, wwefreakjon. So, today I'm gonna talk about psychics. If any of you are Numb3rs fans and saw last nights episode on showcase than you'll know some of the factual history about psychics and the U.S Government. To recap in case you haven't seen the episode in the 70's the U.S government hired people who claimed to have psychic powers to hopefully be able to aid them in the cold war for inteligence. Now that is speculation but no one has denied it. So back to my dilema, are these so called psychics credible or is it all a big hoax.

Although there is no science behind it, scientists have found a fair amount of people who can do certain tasks such has identifying what cards are without looking at the front of the card. These people are usually alienated from society because of there "special" talents. The explanation for these talents normally has something to do with evolution which is why it is so controversial. By evolution I mean that the human brain is said to always be evolving and growing. Currently scientists say that humans use anywhere from 2 to 15% of thier brains so it is predictable that if we could use, say 50 to 75% of our brains we could have telechanisis and special psychic powers like moving objects with our minds or being able to see what someone is thinking. these predictions are what make it conceivable that the odd person could have a further evolved brain and could possess special powers.
