Did the fact that science can provide an extremely detailed explanation of the real-world geological phenomena that you witnessed at Yellowstone happen to change your dim view of science and scientists in some way? My "dim view of science and scientists"? If you're going to throw Scratch-...

Atttaboy, EIllusion! Don't even publicly suggest that you might be entertaining the possibility of reflecting on anything that would even come close to departing from consensus wisdom. If you have even the slightest inclination toward a heterodox thought, deny it! If you've ever had an experience th...

I know ESP isn't fashionable among defenders of the so-called scientific orthodoxy. But I once had a dream and it, like, came true. Very disquieting. I'm all disquieted over here.

I would like to hear it as well. He has, no doubt, seen this thread. Only just now, actually. I've been up in Yellowstone National Park since Friday, indulging my hobby interest in geology -- a rather odd interest, it seems to me, for the anti-scientific "paragon of self-delusion and magical t...

Right. I was absolutely serious about Joe Montana scoring baskets for the San Francisco 49ers. Sure. There's not a chance I was being ironic. (I'm never ironic, right?) And certainly not a chance you're merely clueless . Incidentally, I was a Little League pitcher, was a big-time Dodgers fan (watche...

LOL. I see that, while I've been wandering around looking at bison and elk and geysers and indulging my hobby interest in geology, Mr. Graham has continued to demonstrate, very eloquently, that my perception that he is far too prone to call those with whom he disagrees "liars" and "co...
