Hey, Stonehart. I thought my post was very appropriate and very well worded. I'm sorry you had such a reaction to it. Do you have any legitimate or reasonable questions or thoughts concerning what it expressed? It was very on topic and addressed the very topic on which you began this thread...

Gordon, good post. And for Heavens sake, I can mention that a post Steve made on the dreams thread has to do with what was brought up in your post without being accused of bringing in other threads, can't I? I consider myself a skeptic, and on UFOs and vanished civilizations that built the...

Excellent post, Steve, and I enjoyed the article. There is, indeed, no "line in the sand between having faith and intelligence." In fact, in my opinion, there is no line between having faith and trusting science, and having faith and applying rationality, having faith and rigorous scholarship...

Dare I mention that I've dealt with this story in other threads (on nuclear power)? I think when the nuclear industry in the U.S. is derided in the most strident terms and conspiracies of coverups are alleged, and the most outlandish sources are used to "buttress" these remarks, it is only fair...

Rick, it's pretty obvious that you now state you are debunking this "incident" in Indiana/Michigan when on the other thread about it exactly, you offer a conspiracy involving that very same "incident.";) What needs to be sorted out? And Angelo, I see in other threads on nuclear power people...

WEEEELLLLL, ok.;) But in the other thread about this very same "incident" you posted (regarding this very "event"), "I have seen nuclear industry's machinery of denial in action and for that matter everyone else in the world has. I know the people in charge recognize full public disclosure is...

As if my last two posts on the Fukushima thread didn't already address this "incident," here we go again. A new thread opened just now on this, when a thread already on it was opened days (and days) ago. Really, read this article linked to above. That is reporting? And read the comments...

Hi, Mike. I see even when I was traveling and not posting to the forum you brought up my son's "beyond safe" phrase, though as is usual with many of your posts, out of context, which tendency to contextual destruction I have pointed out in other threads. And I see in your post above that it...

".....containment of evidence due to the explosive nature of the findings which would have a detrimental effect on life as we know it and would commence an Earth shattering paradigm shift which would CHANGE THE WORLD FOR EVER." Nameless, an intriguing idea indeed. Did you mean this seriously...

No, Rick, as is apparent in my original post and in the last one above, I have made clear I have only questioned your, yes, interpretation of this experience. And the use of "jumpers" does tend to lend a dubious atmosphere (ha, ha, no pun intended) to the story. That it happened, that you...

A superb show, just superb. I enjoyed it very much. Of course, the talk of the underlying source, reason, who-built-it regarding the subterranean mystery was of some dubious proportions, but even Gene and Chris, and Johnson himself, too, were clearly limiting it to speculation and with some...

Hi there, Rick. Well, as you know, that is my quote of your quotes.;) I've been doing some traveling, but have kept up with the forums. I see even when I leave, I linger, as evidenced by my invoked presence still, in quotes and by actual name.:D As I remember, your phrases were used in...

I'm a member of an astronomy/SETI forum, and this link just came in. The photos accompanying the article are stunning, just gorgeous, and a couple of artist's conception pictures are of things we really couldn't have pictures of! There's an annoying ad from a major financial house that pops...

Konrad, yes, that was a good interview by Hofstadter. When you mentioned "The Whisperer in Darkness" I felt a chill. Good ol' H.P. Lovecraft. I got my Lovecraft Omnibus 3 out and reread it. What a creepy story, as are all of his. I also reread "The Call of Cthulhu" and "The Colour Out of...

Rick, I enjoyed this discussion on this thread among you, Steve, Voyager, Gordon, and I. We didn't agree oftentimes, but it was a good discussion (but I agree with Steve, I don't want to ever be a meatbot!). You said on another thread that The Paracast forum was little read, and I sort of...

Mike, why do you keep digging yourself in deeper? I'm just funnin' with you some, and you must admit (and by your responses you sound like your hand was in the cookie jar;) ) you did do a heck of a good butcher job on Douglas Hofstadter's interview, which is colloquial, funny, facetious...

Wow. The man lost his wife, regrets her loss, misses her, feels deeply at her passing, struggles to maintain a memory of her, and you call him (and me) a "superstitious idiot." Unspeakable. Kim

Rick, I said my beliefs had no empirical evidence, but that doesn't negate the fact of personal experience being something to take heed of, as Steve and I are saying. I did need to express my religious beliefs, because they are fundamental to a worldview, a cosmological view, etc., and I'm not...

Mike, I know you have no interest in debating me, and that's fine and probably for the best.:) However, for the sake of the truth and the sanctity of something called CONTEXT, I must point out that the passages you quote from Douglas Hofstadter's interview, which I linked to, are so, so out of...

Rick, for me, as I said in an earlier post, and I'm still not sure what you think on this point, but I'd like to know genuinely, there just HAS to be a freestanding, objective, universal (as in astronomical universe), mathematical, physical (as in physics), chemical, biological, and any other...
