...years, SHAC has labored with the student body to resolve miscommunications, in addition to serving as a vehicle for a multitude of complaints.

Paranormal data make it a lot easier to accept that Jesus and other spiritually advanced beings did things that exceed what science understands to be human capacity. Once we take a hard look at the miracle of human potential, the debunkers...
