"Dogma 8: your mind is inside your head. All your consciousness is the activity of your brain and nothing more.
Dogma 9: psychic phenomena like telepathy are impossible. Your thoughts and intentions cannot have any effect at a distance because your mind is inside your head. Therefore all the apparent evidence for telepathy and other psychic phenomena is illusory."
Sheldrake says these are science's "dogmas" (there are 10), and that they are all wrong.
"[I] take the ten dogmas or assumptions of science, and turn them into questions, seeing how well they stand up if you look at them scientifically. None of them stand up very well."
So "telepathy doesn't exist" does not stand up to scientific questioning? Come on man, you're better than this.

He's saying that the evidence for the 'ten dogmas' being true is weak, not that there is strong evidence for them being false.

He's not saying that telepathy exists, he's saying there isn't good reason to believe that it's impossible.
Here's the thing though, and this will be the last comment from me on this thread as it gets tiring; people of your sort are great when it comes to playing "he said/she said" games, finding something to "tutut" about at every sentence– but when it comes to actually producing results, actually bringing something to the table other than an ego, there is nothing. Not a single man standing.
Using (alpha, beta, delta, etc...) brainwaves & Neural Impulse Actuation (NIA/EEG) technology, it is possible to interact with other networked entities...
