It amazes me how many people who do not believe pseudo-science believe in dowsing..... [View all]

Many still believe dowsing is a 100% real skill. There is absolutely no proof of dowsing being a real skill. Many studies show no more than random chance.

James Randi has always said, the best way to test a water dowser is to ask them to scan a open farm field and find a spot where is you drill there WILL NOT be water found. Finding water is easy, you might just need to drill a little deeper. Finding a place where you can drill and NOT find water is the hard part.

Also interesting, as Randi states, The American Society of Dowsers, is an organization that adamantly refuses to allow their claims to be tested, and has vigorously avoided trying to win the JREF prize.

That should tell you all you need to know!
