But they don't follow its creed at all.<BR/><BR/>Where does Schermer and Randi get their funding from? Or is it part time thing for them to spread their own ideological view of reality to all and sundry. The thing is, they manage to get amazing exposure on all media. I read a study of CSICOP that told how it was originally created to test claims of the paranormal. that didn't last long so by the 1980s, it was mostly into public relations and denouncing (not bebunking) research that fell outside of its narrow paradigm.Christopher Kevillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09563577455947570653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16158865.post-1138224472573670362006-01-25T13:27:00.000-08:002006-01-25T13:27:00.000-08:00Thanks.

Hand-waving generalities and snickering don't lend themselves to rational discussion.Dean Radinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16131263574182645280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16158865.post-1138203695495023262006-01-25T07:41:00.000-08:002006-01-25T07:41:00.000-08:00Hi Dean,I heard you on Coast the other night with ...Hi Dean,<BR/><BR/>I heard you on Coast the other night with Michael Schermer. You did a great job! I was sorry to hear that Schermer had such a close minded attitude. He really is quite rude when you get right down to it. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, please carry on your work.Christopher Kevillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09563577455947570653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16158865.post-1137980389872217532006-01-22T17:39:00.000-08:002006-01-22T17:39:00.000-08:00I'm in the new version, "Down the Rabbit Hole," re...I'm in the new version, "Down the Rabbit Hole," released in February 2006.Dean Radinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16131263574182645280noreply@blogger.com
