    Extractions: Enter a search term (like "iPhone") or a url (like "http://www.nytimes.com") The Committee for Skeptical Inquiry (CSI), formerly known as the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal (CSICOP), is a U.S. non-profit organization whose stated purpose is to "encourage the critical investigation of paranormal and fringe-science claims from a responsible, scientific point of view and disseminate factual information about the results of such inquiries to the scientific community and the public. " CSI was founded in 1976 by Paul Kurtz to counter what he regarded as an uncritical acceptance of, and support for, paranormal claims by both the media and society in general. Its philosophical position is one of scientific skepticism. CSI's fellows have included many notable scientists, Nobel laureates, philosophers, educators, authors, and celebrities.

    Extractions: Shire Home #Skeptic IRC The #skeptic IRC channel we use to run has died of under-use. There is a Skeptic Chat area that is far more active on specifically Skeptical Topics. Run by a gentalman calling himself Koevoet, it has had, at times, held conferances and discussions with promenent persons on both sides of the skeptical fence. The channel name for this is #Skepsis Listed Below are the addresses for this service. All connections should be made to the usual port "6667". If you do not have an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) client, then there are several you can download off the Internet. For Windows95 or Windows 3.1 users, I recommend Khaled Mardam-Bey's mIRC program. For the Macintosh, Ircle is a popular shareware client, and ShadowIRC is an upstart contender. If all you have is a text-based Unix account, chances are that your system administrator has set things up so that you can simply type irc . Once in the irc program, type

    Extractions: Skeptical inquiry is a method of investigation which guides the evaluation of claims of fact. Four words neatly summarize the skeptical credo: Prove what you claim! Skepticism's core value judgment holds that empirical evidence must support a falsifiable claim to justify acceptance of that claim. A skeptic strives to identify and clearly articulate assumptions and, when they are questioned, rigorously test those assumptions. Science is the best tool yet-invented for producing evidence that skeptics consider valid. Skeptical inquiry borrows its core bases of evidence, empiricism and falsifiability, from science. A falsifiable claim is stated in a way such that it can be proved false. Examples of falsifiable claims are "It is raining outside" or "The sun will rise tomorrow." On the other hand, "Chocolate is better than vanilla" is not falsifiable. In this essay, the word empirical is used in senses one and three of Merriam-Webster's definition Biomedical science provides rich fodder for skeptical inquiry, from outright nonsense to quackery (e.g.

It is the greatest and most successful pseudoscientific fraud I have seen in my long life as a physicist."

The walls of my prison crumbled and fell, the dungeon was flooded with light, and all the bolts, and bars, and manacles became dust. I was no longer a servant, a serf, or a slave. There was for me no master in all the wide world-not even in infinite space. I was free-free to think, to express my thoughts-free to live to my own ideal-free to use all my faculties, all my senses-free to spread imagination's wings-free to investigate, to guess and dream and hope-free to judge and determine for myself-free to reject all ignorant and cruel creeds, all the "inspired" books that savages have produced, and all the barbarous legends of the past-free from popes and priests-free from all the "called" and "set apart"-free from sanctified mistakes and holy lies-free from the fear of eternal pain-free from the winged monsters of the night-free from devils, ghosts, and gods. For the first time I was free. There were no prohibited places in all the realms of thought-no air, no space, where fancy could not spread her painted wings-no chains for my limbs-no lashes for my back-no fires for my flesh-no master's frown or threat-no following another's steps-no need to bow, or cringe, or crawl, or utter lying words. I was free. I stood erect and fearlessly, joyously, faced all worlds.

Steve Allen, "Dumbth" page 300 Index Search this site powered by FreeFind Introduction This is my guide to do-it-yourself skepticism. It is geared toward debunking the anti- environmental "brownlash" movement, but the advice is relevant to any topic. There are several reasons for this page. 1. It will help you avoid being deceived by bunk, wether from a salesman, a politician, a commentator or a "wise use" group. 2. It can help you win debates, write better letters to the editor, etc. 3. It will help you avoid making these mistakes yourself. 4.
