Hello Folks:
The Mistrust of Science is an article - from the New Yorker.
The text of this article was actually delivered as the commencement address at the California Institute of Technology, on Friday, June 10th.
Reading it is worth your time. I look forward to the ensuing...
I'm with you ... with my daughter ... it's not that she resembles my Grandmother (physically and in personality) that makes me wonder. I've other children as well. They also share strong family resemblances with other family members. No... what makes me wonder about one particular daughter, as a...
Yeah, these kinds of things are interesting. There's no real proof... but some of the things the parallels I've seen between my Paternal grandmother and my daughter defy "chance". Others in the family have seen the parallels as well, especially my father. Of course Dad knew Grandma better than...
It's an interesting article. I've not read a lot about re-incarnation, but I do believe it's possible.....

Hello Everyone
I've been following Skeptiko for quite awhile now. The podcast intrigues me ... I'm not quite sure why I'm joining the forum now (rather than 3-4 years ago, or any time in between). I guess I just want to communicate with like minded people.
