   It is obvious that he doesn't willingly part with any of his money.   
      
   re: divination, is the simpler one to prove, yet he sets up a test   
   according to his own weird logic. Water bottles hidden underground,   
   yet diviners search for running water sources.   
   Why not just follow a proven water diviner and dig where he/she says   
   to dig, and confirm what is foretold?   
   However there is a group of scientists who believe in diviners - and   
   have so far not been able to come up with their own concrete evidence/proof   
   that it is 'real'.   
      
      
   It's probably more the case - that mankind is on the edge? of believing   
   in these things, seeing that these simply do not go away with scientific   
   reasoning and logic (or everyday commonsense) - that only if science would   
   play catch up, and invent the instruments (or stumble across them   
   accidentally - which has happened, only for them to be lost) necessary to   
   record and provide the 'proof' that these do in fact exist.   
      
   The mainstream world view has to change, to accept these as possible and   
   then probable.. then finally proven...
