When has the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry published Any research in a peer reviewed science journal?
Q. The Parapsychological Association as many other affiliates of the American Association for the Advancement of Science is the professional organization for people working in the science of parapsychology. As is typical of other professional organizations the PA present relative research at their own conferences and publish in relevant peer reviewed science journals. Anyone believing that all subjects are relevant to every AAAS general conference and that submissions not relevant to the theme of the conference would be accepted has either never been involved in a scientific publication or presentation or is being deceptive.

A. I am no expert on the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry, but after reviewing their website, I cannot see any signs that any of the members of this organization have published research in peer reviewed science journals. Most of what I have found is criticism on different topics that have nearly all been published either in a publication specifically developed for skeptics, or in books that focus on skeptical philosophy. If there are any members of this organization that have published research for review, I would also be interested in knowing about it. Thanks for the question!

Christians, why are you skeptical towards evolution and not towards your own religion?
Q. If honest scientific inquiry is what you are propagating then why not apply the same criticism to Christianity? joe_on_drums, I will mind my own business when creationists mind theirs and stop fighting for a dogmatic belief to be taught in schools.

Quackwatch a 'Pseudo-skeptical' website?
Q. Do you think that Quackwatch fits this description? "The term pseudoskepticism (or pseudoscepticism) denotes thinking that appears to be skeptical but is not. The term is most commonly encountered in the form popularised by Marcello Truzzi, where he defined pseudoskeptics as those who take "the negative rather than an agnostic position but still call themselves 'skeptics'". University of Washington electrical research engineer William J. Beaty describes pseudo-skepticism as; "a variety of pseudoscience: the behavior of highly biased 'sneering scoffers' who try to legitimize their prejudice by donning the mantle of science and proper skepticism.

There s no evidence for God whatsoever. Sensible theists admit that their belief is founded on nothing but faith, but there are always those who claim to have evidence of irreducible complexity, healings, out-of-body experiences or other such stupid notions and treat them as evidence for the existence of their particular God.

A. No. Science makes it clear that there has to be a Creator. The laws of thermodynamics make it clear that it is impossible for something to come into being from ablsoute nothing with absolutely no cause. Therefore there must be a Creator. Not to mention that there has never been a single instance of life coming from inanimate matter. The athiest belief that there is no God is taken in faith, not by any evidence. Atheism is a religion.

Atheists did you know that less than 3% of the World's population are atheists?
Q. The term atheism originated from the Greek (atheos), meaning "without gods", which was applied with a negative connotation to those thought to reject the gods worshiped by the larger society. With the spread of freethought, skeptical inquiry, and subsequent increase in criticism of religion, application of the term narrowed in scope. The first individuals to identify themselves as "atheist" appeared in the 18th century. Today, about 2.3% of the world's population describes itself as atheist, while a further 11.9% is described as nontheist.[7] Between 64% and 65% of Japanese describe themselves as atheists, agnostics, or non-believers,[8][9] and 48% in Russia.[8] The percentage of such persons in European Union member states ranges as low… [cont.]

The effect of credit inquiries on credit score?
Q. I know that some activities which require my credit score being checked (such as taking on new debts) can negatively impact my credit score if done too often. What about personal inquiries, such as using annualcreditreport.com each year to view my credit report? I've heard both points of view from people, but I tend to be very skeptical about financial advice because those willing to give it freely often don't know what they're talking about.
Asked by Adam D - Fri May 7 10:29:39 2010 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Checking your own credit does not affect your score, nor do periodic checks by existing creditors. Only "hard pulls" (applications for NEW credit) affect the score.

A. I would be very leary then. Something doesn't sound right at all. They may be stolen animals, sick, who knows. Best to adopt from your area. I just checked out the site you are talking about. I've never ever heard of anyone giving away purebreds. Even at the humane society they charge for them. Less for mixed breeds, more for the purebreds. My intuition was sounding the alarm bells like crazy when I went to that site. Best to stay clear of them and find a dog to adopt in your area. Would rather pay an adoption fee and get a healthy dog than trust that site.

Hume's beliefs about matters of fact?
Q. In Section IV of Inquiry on Human Understanding, Hume says the following. It may be a subject worthy of curiosity to inquire what is the nature of that evidence which assures of us of any matter of fact beyond the present testimony of our senses or the records of our memory. Hume then tries to figure out what evidence we might have for beliefs about absent matters of fact, those "beyond the present testimony of our senses and records of our memory." He ends up with "skeptical doubts" about there being any evidence for our beliefs in absent matters of fact. Explain as accurately as you can how Hume arrives at this skeptical conclusion.

A. Tell your *friend* that according to a wikipedia page I read, Swap Magic in fact is deemed " legal" in the United States here is the link: I think your friend should be fine as MANY people use swap magic and do not get into trouble. If you go online I also think you will be able to connect perfectly fine. The worst that will happen is you not being able to connect at all. For example let's just use Microsoft for an example. When they detect some one has a modded console they do not just go and hunt them down, the worst they do is to block their console from playing online. Now swap magic is legal and if your using the legal disc as well ( not burnt/copied) it is supposed to connect online perfectly fine.

The problem is I cant seem to find one!

Q. I put my old, rough condition car up for sale last night on Craiglist for $500 obo I got ALOT of interest. 25+ inquiries in 12 hours. I set aside this Saturday to show the car to prospective buyers Based on the overwhelming response to the ad (25+ respondents, most sound excited, not skeptical) - the callers are clearly salivating over the prospect of getting this car, even in its rough condition, for $500. A handful of people have said flat out they want to come right over and snap it right up for the full asking price. Lotta interest from mechanics looking to fix the car and keep it on the road.
