Paranormal
Conventional science generally decries belief in 'spirits', ghosts, telepathy and the like, despite some debatable experimental data, most notably in the field of telepathy. Consequently, they overload theories they do have considerable evidence for beyond their capacity.
Take, for example, genetics. The genetic code, when all is said and done, is a blueprint not for a 'body', or a 'being' but for proteins. All DNA can sequence is proteins. So, if you stretch the theory to a reasonable limit and assume that the positioning and spacing of the various 'genes' on chromosomes somehow relates to the order and relative abundances necessary to build a physical body, we allow a baby to gestate.
When it's born, it suckles on instinct, cries for food, attempts to climb across the mother's stomach (if left alone)... what sort of protein does that? Proteins can, in theory, affect broad emotional states, but elicit specific responses? That's pushing the theory too far, but conventional science has it that the genetic code is the be-all and end-all of inheritance.
So what else is there? Well, let's start with crystal growth. Crystal's don't have DNA, obviously, their structures are determined by the mechanics of the forces within their atoms. So why, then, does the yield within experiments rise consistently.
Nowadays the only people that routinely generate 'new' crystals - that is, crystals formed from a new conglomerate of base elements - are the pharmaceutical companies. When a new crystal is formed, the yields from a batch can be as low as 20%, but with time they rise, and rise until they are regularly achieving upwards of 70%... without altering the start conditions at all.
Dr Rupert Sheldrake proposed a theory he called 'Genomorphic Resonance' to account for this, and was stripped of his Doctorate by Cambridge University. - As an aside, the word 'heretic' was actually used in the official justification, in the early 1980's - The theory says that everything that exists creates a 'resonance' of form, substance etc. simply by being.
Other objects of a similar nature can pick up on that resonance, and be influenced by it. Obviously, with crystal structures, where the options are reasonably clear and delineated, that causes a gradual increase in the incidences of a particular formation, as those formations are kept and other - unwanted - structures are destroyed. This theory is backed up by the evidence that suggests similar crystals being grown for the first time somewhere geographically separated from the initial site also achieve greater success than would otherwise be the case.
So, what if we extrapolate the theory to other things... like people? If physical crystal structures create 'resonances', perhaps other things can... what if movement creates resonances? Maybe birds have the flight instinct because hundreds upon thousands upon millions of birds before them have launched themselves from the nest and flown. Perhaps horses can walk within hours of birth because of all the herds of history.
Instinct, therefore, becomes not something of the genes, but something of morphic resonance - echoing the forms of the past. If the body can resonate to such 'echoes', adapt to copy the forms of yesterday, what happens when that talent evolves.
If thoughts - deliberate, unconscious, any kind - create echoes just like everything else, and we can pick up them, the possibilities become strangely paranormal...
Telepathy suddenly becomes just a sensitivity to other people's thoughts. Twins, for whom so many other things are similar, are often the best subjects in experiments for telepathy, as thought their minds were already somehow in synch? Perhaps they are... perhaps their minds resonate in such a way that they each pick up on the echoes of each other.
Ghosts are just the echoes of previous lives and thoughts, being picked up by the people currently in the vicinity. Powerful events, events that cause powerful resonances, create a localised intensity such that most anyone can pick it up.
Remote Viewing becomes the ability to pick up the resonances in a directional sense, and clairvoyance and fortune-telling simply implies that the resonances are not limited to travel in a single direction through time.
And when we die? Do we leave anything to the afterlife, a spirit, a soul? Not exactly - but every thought, every idea, every action, every blink, burp and breath has left an echo, and every generation down to the last on Earth will interact with it, be influenced by it, and use it to reshape the world we have left into their own form for it. Perhaps, in this, lies the requirement to think the good life, not just to live it, or act it, or preach it: belief really could have power.
