KNOWLEDGE
The Academy of Paranormal Research
It is often an inferred perception that validates any particular philosophy over another. While a vast majority subscribes to theories relating some sort of higher power in the universe, most identify these as religious beliefs rather than mysticism. God simply has a better brand.
Miracles are widely accepted phenomena, unlike magic or witchcraft. By definition, they are essentially the same: An event or occurrence that appears inexplicable by the laws of nature and so is held to be supernatural in origin or an act of G-d
The very laws of nature themselves are subject of philosophical debate. The existence of God is a theory divided into many formulas, all of which attribute the existence of the universe to some sense of higher power beyond our own perceptual or intellectual apprehension. Faith not only acknowledges the supernatural, it has solidified this concept into the human conscious.
Paranormal: That which is not understandable in terms of known scientific laws and phenomena
Extrasensory Perception (ESP): Seemingly outside the ordinary sensory channels
As we examine reports of the supernatural, scientific tools often fail to bring relevant data into analysis. Without question, however, this approach does not dispute the limitation of knowledge. Recognizing our ignorance upon new discovery allows reformulation of scientific theories and forces old laws to be discarded. Science, while professing ultimate knowledge, admits the inability to classify or even recognize anything that may fall outside its known boundaries.
Therefore, different tools must be utilized to properly categorize supernatural elements.
