I am not for a second saying that girl is not a fraud, I just have never understood why people say things like "it does not exist" when they can not prove it, they can't know for sure. It just seems ignorant and closed minded to me. It's like the very existance of the debate is somehow threatening.

It's like that test above, why hasn't someone come up with the exact opposite? Why not have a contest PROVING that it does NOT exist and then give someone a million bucks? Betcha they wouldn't have much luck either.
There is lots of research out there trying to prove that psychics are nothing more than liars. But Science doesn't work the way your describing.

I'll photon's example of the invisible unicorn. I'm saying that there are invisble unicorns. I"ll give you a million dollars to prove me wrong. You wouldn't be able to prove me wrong, but I wouldn't be able to prove it's right either. So Science would say that there is no such thing as invisible unicorns. The way Science works is that you first have to prove something before you can claim its true.
