Colin,

It is of course possible that human intelligence relies upon
electromagnetic-field sensing that goes beyond the traditional "five
senses."

However, this argument

makes no sense to me.   I haven't seen you present any meaningful argument
that scientific behavior depends on "extrasensory" phenomena.  Do you have
such an argument?
