Daniel Caldwell: ESP or remote viewing. 

Like Frank Reitemeyer before and in your previous mails the past weeks 
you obviously simple use religious retoric to circumvent discussing the 
subjects quoted in my postings.

It is obvious from Reitemeyers last, and your current post that neither 
of you even knew, what modernism means. 

Ofcourse next you will quickly look it up in google and come back with 
new circumventing remarks. Just like Mormons will do claiming "The 
Book of Mormon" is modern Science.

However your current and Reitemeyers previous post it is obvious that 
shot of the hip remarks are used by Theosophists to argue unknown 
targets. Including a kind of "God of the gaps" argument that rests on the 
belief that there are vast areas of human experience that cannot be 
explained by conventional science. 

The two worlds approach is most readily apparent in pragmatic claims 
that scientific truth is something other than spiritual truth.
