The failure of Nick to recreate the vortex in a hotel in LA says nothing about the Montana vortex. Anyone with any basic idea of scientific theory can recognize that.

If the IIG is truly interested in investigating his claims and disproving “paranormal” activity they should travel to Montana themselves and not be afraid to leave the comfortable confines of their urban West coast life.

Nothing has changed from the results of this experiment.

I’ll never forget Oprah’s discussions with the miserable white women from the suburbs who were crying because they couldn’t clean the 7 bathrooms in the 10 bedroom houses they lived in! Dr. Oz is also aware of what I refer to as “trained seals clapping” syndrome. Anything that gets the ratings up, these media whores will shove down your mindless, numb throat. I do believe in the “paranormal,” I believe that some people have wonderful intuitive gifts, BUT NOT ON DAYTIME TV!!!

]]> Comment on An Honest Liar – The Story of James “The Amazing One” Randi by Randy http://skepticalteacher.wordpress.com/2012/02/18/an-honest-liar-the-story-of-james-the-amazing-one-randi/#comment-16027 Fri, 10 May 2013 04:22:51 +0000 http://skepticalteacher.wordpress.com/?p=3961#comment-16027 That Randi is a fraud, himself. He and his boyfriend stole the identity of a man in NYC so his boyfriend could stay in the country after overstaying his student visa and having his passport expire. Rather than fix his immigration issues he stole the identity of an American and put the guy through hell for twenty five years. The boyfriend finally got caught but got a slap on the wrist. I wouldn’t call Randi “honest”–anyone who can do that to another person is a fraud and a cheat and a liar. How he can call himself a fighter against fraud when he’s a liar and a thief is beyond me.

Maybe she believed what she was saying? Rather like people who claim to be ‘witness’ to ‘god’s presence’ in their lives?

It’s so annoying that she gets away with it!

I really hope the Berry family can sue the pants off the odious woman.

Hmmm, Not So Much… by tim http://skepticalteacher.wordpress.com/2011/08/02/science-confirms-the-bible-hmmm-not-so-much/#comment-16007 Thu, 09 May 2013 01:22:05 +0000 http://skepticalteacher.wordpress.com/?p=3384#comment-16007 People believe what they want, if you take God out of the picture , people live how ever they want, i Know the bible is true because it changed me. meaning i was a drug abuser and now i have been delivered from the things most people cant break away even with professional help, been clean for 8 years , it gave me a new since of worth and because of this, the other parts of the bible seem to be so true,,, it depends on what YOU want to believe ,God or Freedom to live how you want .. I used to believe in evolution but now i believe it to be a fairy tale for the mind who cant except that there is a God who created & rules the universe, i respect your view and if you are right you wont have any thing to worry about,,, Amazing Grace, i once was blind but now i see. Sincerly Tim
