RDF TV - Baloney Detection Kit - Michael Shermer

Oct 27, 2009 - posing such contradiction as you just have in the opening line of your reply supports, with fairly strong evidence, that you are weak minded yourself. even more unfortunate is that even after pointing out your assumptive (accepted as truth, without evidence) posture on what i have been saying, you're right back to the drawing board with more assumption. i would highly advise that if you wish to structure a reply to me, that you do so carefully if you are concerned about your ego.its suffering

tyler98144 Says:

Oct 27, 2009 - if not, that's quite alright also. all you are doing is further proving each point i have made, by closing off anything and everything that ANYONE (myself in this case) has to say before evaluating the information being shared, viewing it from all angles, and forming your own conclusion on what your belief is. this world is simple if you take the time to realize that we, as humans, possess infinite wisdom within our conscience. start by losing the hatred and one day you may grow conscious.

Oct 27, 2009 - don't listen to me though alien8ted, listen to your very own ally Michael Shermer 1:05 whom you are seemingly - correct me if i'm wrong - trusting blindly. because you're sold his own repeated ideas, whom he stole from someone, who stole from another, who interpreted the original thought incorrectly, you're failing to realize what science is even about, which is studying the world through experiment. you piggyback on the 'observation' part of it's definition, and observation is not revolution.

alien8ted Says:

Oct 27, 2009 - There is no contradiction in my last comment. You must be hallucinating. You do not possess even rudimentary common sense, let alone 'infinite wisdom'. Basically, you're just chock-full of crap. The rubbish you believe does seem to infinite, your capacity for willful self-delusion does appear limitless. You cannot refute anything I say, and I don't take anything anyone says as absolute truth, not even Shermer. The skeptic method works. You are the one with a profound prejudice against the truth.

Oct 28, 2009 - I understand that the Micheal Shermer does not believe in Astrology. The Illuminat use it all the time.

Oct 29, 2009 - I love these guys! That's a great list presented with great points. Thank you RDF!

alien8ted Says:

Oct 31, 2009 - Christians follow a bible that commands them suffer not a witch to live Google 'what's the harm? (kenyan edition)' to see a video of Christians in Africa BURNING PEOPLE ALIVE today. Atheists dont follow a book that commands them to kill others, and condemn dictators like Hitler and Stalin for their use of violence to achieve their political ends, just as we condemn Christians for killing for religious reasons. Christians don't condemn these burnings as that would be against their religion.

LIFESKEY Says:

Oct 31, 2009 - The one thing that I found missing (i agreed with his logic completely) was he did not mention the fact and existence of 'mystery' or as some call it 'mystic' aspects of Life. And you know, put our knowledge gained by science (as wonderful as it is) up against mystery and you wouldn't even see that it exists.

alien8ted Says:

Nov 1, 2009 - Mystic = mistake.

LIFESKEY Says:

Nov 2, 2009 - Well I am not a Christian alien8ted, but I do know enough about it to inform you that you have your facts very deludedly wrong. People can call themslelves anything, buddhists, ghristians, jews, hindus etc etc, but there is nothing that I have ever read according to the teachings of Jesus that tells people to burn witches. In fact, from what I understand, he promoted the opposite by teaching forgiveness - turn your face the other way etc. So if u send me again, first get your facts right. :o)

alien8ted Says:

Nov 2, 2009 - I know the bible much better than you can pretend to. Most xians have never read the damn myth, but only the bits a preacher recites. The command to kill witches is exodus 28:11, the bit about jesus coming to bring division is in Luke. Maybe reading 'as a believer' means you conveniently ignore the tricky bits and pretend you never saw them. It's practically impossible to glean 'facts' from what, after all, is a bronze-age myth with unicorns, talking snakes and a guy living inside a fish.

Nov 2, 2009 - Overall a good video. One issue though. Why would you use global warming skeptics as an example os SKEWING findings? People who believe in AGW are 100% guilty of skewing results insanely in their direction. It's not skeptics who use totally inaccurate models to predict an outcome. Skeptics are the ones trying to COUNTER all those systematic errors you talk about. By this count, this video is guilty of what it is trying to stop, that being, you aren't being skeptical.

Nov 3, 2009 - I wonder how many mystical things there were before science explained them. 'Oh science could never explain why the sun goes up and the tides come in'. Ive heard this kind of new age crap before.

waldoistwisted Says:

Nov 3, 2009 - Hell wasnt mentioned until the new testament.

fruitydickhole Says:

Nov 6, 2009 - What on earth could you possibly be talking about? What are the "mystic" aspects of life?

Fiends4 Says:

Nov 7, 2009 - He isn't hating you he is merely telling you that you are an idiot. You are proving to everybody else that you truly are an idiot. The world is full of hate because of your beliefs.

Fiends4 Says:

Nov 7, 2009 - My only new understanding is that you are an idiot and alien8ted has put you in your place.

Nov 7, 2009 - "You need to be open minded enough for creative ideas, but not SO open-minded that your brain falls out" Classic. They should tattoo that to Deepak Chopra's forehead. Or at least sew his head shut to keep his brain inside

LIFESKEY Says:

Nov 7, 2009 - Ther unknown - the sixth sense - the hidden - the amazing highway of possibilities that exist completely unknown to us at this point... For one huge example, 200 years ago yours and my ancestors had no idea that the space around them contained radio and other waves. They would never have dreamed that the possibility existsted right within their midst to make (what they would have called magic) such as a remote control device that could send a signal thru the air and move an object.

LIFESKEY Says:

Nov 7, 2009 - And we have not even begun to understand anything in comparison to what there is yet to discover - aspects of life and stuff that will no doubt change the world completely again - layers and layers of new frontiers. One day we may even discover where and what death is - how to contact the dead as easily as a phone call or the net. How can anyone possible laugh at anything anymore without the risk of being made a complete fool of. Anything we can imagine possible in our minds is possible.

Awesomesome Says:

Nov 7, 2009 - You got the Exodus number wrong. Try again.

LIFESKEY Says:

Nov 7, 2009 - That's because our mind or life-force is a copy of the entire universe - just as our body is a copy of the Earth. We only use a small percentage of our minds potential and yet some of us are foolish enough to believe we can see everything already - we are as if trying to see the entirety of everything around us thru the tiny hole of a straw. Yes there is a mystic aspect and it is humoungas - so huge we don't even realise it is there...
