Oops! Fat and NOT healthy. It was presented as science by some media outlets and even in schools. I remember it being shown as scientific fact in a health class at a school where I worked. I had my doubts because my uncle actually was part of a study where he had to eat McDonald's every day...

Here is an example of someone trying to push "science". Often documentaries push a scientific discovery yet the results aren't peer reviewed. Many of you remember "Super Size Me". It was shown in schools and proved that fast food would make you fat and very healthy rather quickly. It was a...

iBrian brought up RFK Jr. not that long ago. So I doubt it is an issue as long as we don't start talking about that ugly "p" word. RFK Jr. has been on a similar career path as Tulsi. I don't think there's anything political to argue here. I was just wondering about her religious background...

A few years ago I was reading an article about the gut-heart connection. Scientists were theorizing that the stomach could control heart rhythms. Don't know whatever happened with that research. I sometimes wonder how much our organs affect each other.

Doesn't she follow the Hindu faith? I'm so confused.

It doesn't change my answer just by the wording. But with you being more specific and listing what science refers to, I can be more thorough. Let me first say that I do have close friends who are scientists. They actually influence my opinion on "science". Science is a cutthroat business...

Obviously I was being hypothetical. Glad you saw my point. If you'd like to talk about the Exodus I'm certain there are threads still open on the matter.

The food there is so yummy! But also so expensive! I took my wife and daughter to the Minnesota State Fair a few years ago. The food for the day cost over $200.

Campbell's soup and PBR are making soup together. I'm so surprised that Walmart is the place showcasing this collaboration. https://oddnews.com/article/campbells-and-pbr-collaborate-to-make-chunky-beer/

It wasn't intended to be science. If I were to write a story about some crazy things I witnessed, I wouldn't expect anyone to accept my writing as a science book. So if some 80-year old man led me and some friends through a sea that he had just parted, I wouldn't expect to be mentioned in a...

Aside from the Bible, there isn't really any first-hand evidence of his existence. But Jesus was a commoner. He wasn't considered royalty, wasn't famous, and wasn't rich. If there were any first-hand witness evidence, I would be surprised. It was after his death that he became famous...

I did purchase one a year ago. So far so good! Thanks for the recommendation!

That would mean that their gods would be wrong. It would also make their gods subservient to their subjects. If gods did exist, and they created and understood life and the universe, it would be very odd telling these gods that they need to change their stories to agree with current human...

One thing I often mention, which can't be repeated enough, is that good science can predict when applied. So if someone believes in a scientific conclusion, but all or most of the predictions that come from this conclusion end up failing, then it is poor science.

I believe that every student should be required to take a stats course. It's amazing how gullible people are when they are presented with stats. I have seen stats presented with less than 10 participants yet presented as reliable. And if the statistic seems to agree with someone's opinion...

Yep. But NBC decided to be misleading in their title on purpose.

And if you won't take my word for anything I've said, do take the word of Richard Horton, editor of the Lancet. "The case against science is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half may simply be untrue. Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny effects...

I don't recall ever saying that I "believed in science". It's because I don't trust scientific research, especially in my own country. Why? Because it is so corrupt. It also so flawed. It is influenced by money, the media and politics among other factors. Let me give you a few examples...

I have to say, you sure do ask good questions!

Feel free to do some research. I just know the laws of my own country. But I'm certain that any monarchy, socialist nation, or communist nation would have state run media that would be more than forthcoming with unbiased information of legal action taken against them for forcing a Covid...
