• Post NaBloPoMo Analysis

  
  Rainbow of Chaos — Authority: 424
  National Blog Posting Month ( NaBloPoMo ) is over for another year and this year I managed to post every single day for the month of November.  I also changed the focus of this blog a little bit and started blogging more about skepticism, science and pseudoscience as well as my usual “anything goes” blog posts.  ...

• Harvey said he wanted to go for a walk.

  
  the Jaded Skeptic, Odd Jack — Authority: 135
  PZ Myers points to an all too not surprising study that shows that most peoples gods pretty much think like them. Otherwise known as my opinions and ideas are right because...my god thinks my ideas are good. Convenient, and impossible to prove. But being sacred, holy, spiritual, etc, it is not to be questioned. ...

• Deepak Chopra: redefining “wrong”

  
  Bad Astronomy — Authority: 685
  I am no fan of Deepak Chopra. For years he has gone on TV, in print, and in his books, peddling all manners of nonsense. Here’s a quick reality check: if his claims of "quantum healing" are correct, why is he getting older? Anyway, he has gone to the very font of new age nonsense, the Huffington Post, to spew more ...

• Where did the global warming-caused hurricanes go?

  
  OpenMarket.org — Authority: 615
  Whoa! Did we just have a hurricane season? Doesn’t seem that way. “2009 hurricane season ends quietly with fewest storms since 1997,” declares one headline . “The season featured nine named storms, the fewest since 1997, and for the first time since 2006 no hurricanes made landfall in the United States,” ...

• Politics and climate change

  
  Aristotle The Geek — Authority: 120
  I’ll keep it short. My anti-agw/ acc position is 100% political in nature. As I keep writing about others, I won’t “get” global warming even if the evidence hit me in my face. Even if climate change were primarily caused by humans, the “solutions” that are being proposed by ultra-left whackjobs who are the ...

• How to respond to postmodernism, relativism, subjectivism, pluralism and skepticism

  
  Wintery Knight — Authority:
  Four articles from Paul Copan over at the UK site “BeThinking”. Each article responds to a different slogan that you might hear if you’re dealing with non-Christians on the street. “That’s just your interpretation!” Some of his possible responses: Gently ask, ‘Do you mean that your interpretation ...

  Survival News Network — Authority: 142

  Skeptic's Play — Authority: 411
  I dont know if any of the regular readers noticed or remembered, but over a month ago I wrote something about the Independent Investigations Group (IIG), and the reasons why we need to investigate paranormal claims . And then I removed the post. But now its up again. Theres a funny story behind this. Back in ...

• Looking for something too normal in the paranormal

  
  the Jaded Skeptic, Odd Jack — Authority: 135
  SCIfake has some footage from an old episode of Ghost Hunters calling into question a presumed paranormal event. You may know the story about Race Rock Lighthouse, and the chair that moved across a room. Groups like SAPS have looked at the idea and video and put forward ideas on how it could be faked. And ...

• On Skepticism and Global Warming

  
  The Thinker — Authority: 124
  I have been troubled for some time now about the skeptic community’s collective attitude towards those who are skeptical of anthropocentric global warming (AGW) claims. Granted, there is a range of AGW skepticism, from “global warming isn’t happening” at one end of the spectrum, to “AGW is real but some of ...

• Things and happenings

  
  Cubik's Rube — Authority: 122
  - President Obama’s proclamation for Thanksgiving was unique in that he didn’t mention God , except when quoting George Washington. So, he sort of did bring him up. But still, LifeSiteNews can barely hold back their disdain. There’s been a lot of bollocks written lately by people angry that non-believers or ...

• World AIDS Day: How about a look back?

  
  HIV/AIDS Skepticism — Authority: 110
  The conference, Rethinking AIDS 2009, was a treat in many ways, some of which I described in “The Family of Rethinking AIDS” . A special pleasure for me was to meet in person people I had respected for quite some time, indeed admired for their work and their integrity. I learned something new from the substance ...

• Before Climategate, Steve McIntyre forced NASA to correct its data

  
  Wintery Knight — Authority:
  Let’s reminisce about the previous Steve McIntyre triumph , when he force NASA’s eco-moonbat James Hansen to admit that there were errors in NASA’s data.

• Bill Cosby’s Mashable Bet Makes The New York Times

  
  Technology Pundit — Authority: 170
  You might remember comedian Bill Cosby is making a push into social media , resulting in some skepticism from our side about how savvy the sweater-clad star was to the social media space. If Cosby sent us a video reply on video-sharing site 12seconds, I’d wear a Cosby sweater on my Facebook profile, I wagered … ...

• Climate Change: Countering the Contrarians

  
  Boing Boing — Authority: 888
  Scientific American talks evidence, digging into seven arguments against the reality of climate change that, if not the most frequently-cited in general, are certainly the most frequently cited in BoingBoing comment threads. Personally, Ive started trying to avoid the snarky, dismissive tone this piece veers a bit ...

• Arguing with a True Believer

  
  An Eclectic Mind — Authority: 128
  It’s a waste of time. I’m a skeptic. I’ve been a skeptic for at least the past 10 years, although I didn’t have a label for it way back when. After realizing that there was no proof in a lot of things I’d been told to simply believe, I started looking at things with a more skeptic eye. Although you can’t ...
