Where do you get the idea that savant syndrome is outside the realm of scientific explanation? Very few things are
fully understood scientifically, and a savant's abilities are no exception -- but those abilities are understood in the sense that we know they're explainable by psychological means. We even know a bit about how such abilities develop neurologically.
Explain to me what exactly is paranormal about savant syndrome? Savant syndrome is an area of intense curiosity for neuroscientists. It's not like it's a dilemma for neuroscientists the way evolution is for creationists.
