Is intuition the sixth sense?

According to this web site, the answer is no. The sixth sense is a "supernatural knowing" and intuition is a "subtle knowing."

According to this web site, the sixth sense is a type of intuition.

I think that it would have to depend upon your perspective. Are you looking at this from the religious perspective? psychic perspective? etc. Do you recognize the validity of the sixth sense? You would have to decide what you believe about it first, then decide whether or not it is the same as intuition.

Thanks Mk. That helps. I think I agree with a little of both. I see intuition as a feeling or "knowing" which could be a sense.

The theory of knowledge.
The man acts: 1) at usual under logic program,
2) sometimes on intuition (unconsciousness).

Thanks for responding, Socratus. I'm confused, though, why you call intuition unconsciousness. Intuition and unconsciousness aren't the same thing, are they?

I went to your site (from your profile). Combining religion and science is an interesting task.

I think that an intuition is a hunch and that as such intuition is equivalent spiritually to a word of knowledge.

Why our consciousness suffer from dualism?
Some psychologists compare our consciousness with iceberg.
The small visible part of this iceberg is our logical consciousness.
And the unseen (underwater) greater part of the iceberg is
our subconsciousness. Therefore they say, the man uses
only 10% of possibility of his brain.
And if it so, why doesn,t anybody teach us how
to develop our subconsciousness.
I think it is because there are few people who understand
that the processes of subconsciousness are connected
with quantum processes. The subconsciousness theory
closely united with quantum theory.
These quantum processes which take place in lifeless
(inanimate) nature also take place in our brain.
Our brain can be the laboratory in which we can
test the truth of quantum theory.

In condition of intuition or
in unconsciousness the man
acts without thinks, without emotions.
