Come on man? Did you really use the James Randi argument? Did you know that Randi is considered a jerk even among the most hardcore skeptics? He's the Yuri Geller of skeptisism. I can educate you in Randi if you want.
1) Randi is not a scientist. Like at all. Randi is an illusionist. When he was younger he trained two guys to fool a pseudo-scientific research. They succeeded and scine then Randi thinks he's like the God of skeptics.
2) Before you enter the contest you must sign a paper that says that the tests will not be based on scientific methods, but on Randi's insitute methods. The tests that Randi's instistutes put you through are not performed by scientints and are not based in scientific methods.
3) Randi lives, breathes and exists only to prove that 'paranormal' doesn't exist. That means that Jesus himself wouldn't win the prize. Randi will never, ever, ever, ever pay this prize for two reasons. a) Just like his students fooled that research some other magicians can do the same with his and b ) Paying the price will mean that all Randi's life work was a false.
Again I'm not saying that people did manage to beat the test, all I'm saying is that you using Randi as an example, is similar for me using Giorgio Tsoukalos as proof for aliens.
