It's study week this week and this is what I'm working on :
Skepticism, Science, and the Paranormal - Essay 1 - Would W.K. Clifford have approved of the modern skeptical movement?
Essay 2 - If you had a friend who believed, "these paranormal beliefs are my personal beliefs, and I don't think I need evidence to hold them.", how might a skeptic respond?
Essay 3 - In his famous essay, "Of Miracles", David Hume produces one artument against belief in Miracles in the first part, and four more in the second part. Explain the arguments, and evaluate them. Does the first render the others unnecessary?
All of them have to be 1400 words.
