Tales of the Unexplaned

I liked this comment by Mark Shea about the paranormal...
One is the approach of the so-called rationalist, who simply rejects it all because it doesn't fit into his philosophical system. This is called, in our culture, "the open-minded pursuit of truth wherever the facts may lead" and is the great stick with which to beat ignorant obscurantist theists who fear science and inquiry.
The other approach is that of the Catholic who says, "There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy" and who, accordingly, admit the possibility that there may be something in such stories. He does not instantly credit them as true, but is open to investigation and, if the facts point to the reality of such tales, to accepting them as factual. This is called "superstitious fear of science". This is how we know Christians are fools whose best days are behind them and atheistic materialists are the wave of the future and Where History is Going.
