- 'Common BELIEF fallacy' - quite a lot of that going on in this thread by Dawkins sheep.Morning_star
- are you saying you don't believe in evolution?monospaced
- Evolution isn't a common belief fallacy, it's backed by tomes of data, growing daily.monospaced
- Unlike religion, which has no data and is followed like the sheep led by a non-existent shepherdmonospaced
- The first person I thought of while watching this video > Yurimonutopian
- "are you saying you don't believe in evolution?" No. I said DAWKINS not DARWIN. Although you can thank Alfred Russel Wallace for the theory NOT Darwin.Morning_star
- Russel Wallace for the theory NOT Darwin.Morning_star
- If you like darwin, you must love eugenics...yurimon
- Whilst Darwin was a supporter of eugenics it doesn't mean that someone can't be selective about editing out the less palatable ideas.Morning_star

If magic and casting spells worked I'd be in favor of religion too.

You're wrong mono.
"Professor Jessica Utts, a statistician from the University of California, discovered that remote viewers were correct 34 per cent of the time, a figure way beyond what chance guessing would allow.
She says: "Using the standards applied to any other area of science, you have to conclude that certain psychic phenomena, such as remote viewing, have been well established."
- He's wrong because one person agreed?ukit2
- One person disagreed? No. They didn't disagree, wrote a scientific paper, analysed data and came to the conclusion that using the current scientific standards paranormal phenomenon is proven. It's a little more than 'opinion'.Morning_star

as for Randi:
"Randi is probably best known for his infamous million-dollar challenge to "any person or persons who can demonstrate any psychic, supernatural or paranormal ability of any kind" under what Randi refers to as "satisfactory observing conditions."Ray Hyman, a leading Fellow of CSICOP, has pointed out that Randi's challenge is illegitimate from a scientific standpoint. "Scientists don't settle issues with a single test ... Proof in science happens through replication." If Randi's challenge was legitimate, he would set up a double-blind experiment which he himself wouldn't judge. But considering his hostility toward scientists receptive to paranormal phenomena, this doesn't seem likely. His "challenge" is rigged, yet he can crow that his prize goes unclaimed because paranormal phenomena simply does not exist."
From:http://www.skepticalinvesti...
- You miss the very point of his challenge. I'm sure he'd love to go full Science if he ever had to fork out his prizedetritus
- My point exactly. We're talking about science and scientists here not Mystic Meg.Morning_star

^ funny/interesting because the first post in this thread says science is not a belief system and yet as this guy points out so much of science, especially modern theoretical physics, really is a belief system.
