You’re a true believer. Good for you. Like I said, my point was not to debate the "belief" in whether global warming it is real or not. If we discussed the data and science, then this thread would get very boring. My point is the idea of non-experts acting as if they were expert in fields they...

After listening to Stanton Friedman’s tirade about the “myth of global warming” in order to hawk his book “Science is wrong”, I am left somewhat confused. I must first warn all that it is not my intent to discuss the belief system of whether or not global warming is real or not. After all, as...

I agree. My respect for Shermer has gone up, rather than down. I do not agree with the other comments that this is "B.S and anyone could do it". While this test is not a true double blind study, it does look interesting, and should be followed up with more research. One must remember that...

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I agree that Fission rockets would rock, and might be our only way of doing a good percent of c. I read your link to the quark-gluon plas­ma, along with other papers when this phenomenon was first observed. Although very interesting, it does little to show the...

Interesting - I usually do not read this type of “UFO” content. Part of me, wants to understand the mind set of this “soap box drama” approach to an otherwise intriguing and remarkable subject. I think that it is good that you ousted this imposter, but I feel that you are fighting a losing...

Some good post; my take on this is twofold. 1), The futurist idea on how someone could control “worm holes”, and multi dimensions is somewhat shaky because these hypothesis are still far away from any kind of formal proof, or even data that will support these ideas, (other than the mathematics)...

I took about 10 mins and perused the replies to Anti-Christ link, and I think we are all missing a splendid opportunity. Of course, at this point, we have corrupted the seen, so to speak. My interest as a closet sociologist is to understand the faith mind set. After all, faith built the...

Ok guys, this debate is sliding into the realm of belief, and not science. Of course, science is rife with belief, due to the difficulty of having humans do science. Just read a paper on “Violation of local realism with freedom of choice” by Thomas-Scheidl, et al. The comparison I am...

Ok, I see the issue here. The confusion. Western Christianity as it relates to the idea of a conscience universe, and all that would imply. When I speak about the idea of “God”, I am not envisioning the concept of an old bearded guy who has “mood swings”. The idea that the universe has...

SandanFire: good points, but let’s get our terms straight. Skepticism in the western definition relates to someone who must be shown empirical proof in the form of physical data such as changes in mass, charge, velocity, etc, that would support their hypothesis. The idea of “Belief” has...

Phosphorus and arsenic chemistries are very interesting, and analogist to carbon and silicon. “The similarity between arsenic and phosphorus is so great that arsenic will partly substitute for phosphorus in biochemical reactions”. This relationship has been known for some time. What the news...

. Slim: Don't be so quick to judge. The world is much more complicated then we are able to know. There is belief, and there is empirical data. Faith has been around a lot longer than the Greek idea of what we call logic. Brushing off ancient knowledge as "bullshit" is a mistake. Most of the...

Ok guys, I like Jesse! Of course, that does not mean that I agree with him- but if anyone watched his JFK assignation episode, he really kicks a**. With that said, the whole 9-11 conspiracy thing is mostly trash, but within all the trash is a nugget of truth. I do believe that W. bush hid the...

[“The whole genetic decay proposition seems to reflect the greater trend of pathologization of alternate states of consciousness by the medical model". I’m sorry, but what the hell are you talking about???? Are you trying to say that the more genetic changes occur, the more probable it is for us...

I'am sorry, but I have no idea what you are trying to show, or, for that matter, what I am looking at. pb ---------- Post added at 05:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:51 PM ---------- Really???? don't be that guy. There is absolutely no depth perception, and I really am trying to see...

<O:p</O:p I have to start my rant with the comment that, coming from C-2-C, your show is a refreshing combination of intelligent questions, interesting guest, (for the most part), and critical thinking on the part of the host(s). <O:p</O:p As I have said in previous post, I agree with those who...

Good points all, but we need to keep the true unknown in “mind”. We have no idea how our neuron cells work. How does a cell, store life experiences? How does a cell create ideas, or process images? Neuroscience has made good strides in the past decade from mapping the electro signals produced...

Guys. One of the best and most creative ideas that I have heard in a while is the idea of using passive radar system, set up nationally in order to identify and follow UFOs. I don’t know that much about <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:place...

This is a perfect example of how the paranormal community screws themselves. We always blame the scientific community, or the evil government for blocking research or debunking, real research into UFO’s or fringe science, when in reality it is us who cannot use basic reasoning to spot a mentally...
