Excerpt from THE SECRET UNIVERSE:

Of course, present-day skeptics of this type of phenomenon do not accept the vague and extraordinary nature of these reports. Such critics adhere to the maxim: “extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.” However, the problem with this stance is that it creates a double standard. In this situation, investigators are not concerned about objectively searching for indicators that point toward a possible truth, but rather are more concerned about devising ways of disregarding such indicators in order to maintain a preestablished conclusion. This type of circular reasoning (i.e., informal fallacy) is not only unjustifiable but unscientific.
