Mental abilities don't exist:
The déjà-vu stuff and eye-blinking are just tricks your mind play with your conciousness.
Sensing stuff is just coincidence. You probably have a "feeling" all the time, but you forget it, unless something does happen. It's like playing poker: Every time you think "pocket aces pocket aces pocket aces" and when you get it it's like "YES! I knew it!". Problem is you ALWAYS "concentrate" to get something good.
"People use only x% of their brain" must have the part "at a time" behind it. You use different parts for different tasks.
Evolution giving us powers: People that believe that should take a class in pysics IMO. Evolution makes our eyesight better (or worse), or maybe we'll have 6 fingers in a 1000 years, but I'm pretty sure levitation & precognition by will still be impossible.
Like someone said: There hasn't been a single proven case of a person having an ability. Pretty much QED...
