The Society for Scientific Exploration is endlessly entertaining..... Some of their 'peer reviewed' publications: . . . .
Testing a Language-Using Parrot for Telepathy Rupert Sheldrake and Aimee Morgana . . . . Abstracts
I can't get the early scenes from 'Ghostbusters' out of my mind. At least we know what passes as science means for the UDers, and what overturning 'Big Science' would bring..... | Rupert Sheldrake is the Gold Standard for Nuts in Suits.
But not everything on that site is bogus. Examine the book review at http://www.scientificexploration.org/jse/bookreviews/pdf/v17n1.pdf:
Quote | When I read some of the promotional materials associated with No Free Lunch (e.g., that it ‘‘devastates the Darwinists’’), I was skeptical but intrigued. After reading No Free Lunch, however, I was disappointed. Although No Free Lunch is one of the best books available about ID, it is not worth buying. |
Poor Dr. Dr. Dembski. Seventy three years of college and even the people who test parrots for telepathy don't respect him.
