Extractions: Project Coordinator: Michael.Connelly@mcckc.edu Welcome to the Critical Thinking Web Site. Having been on the Web since 1994, we are now enjoying our sixteenth year of providing Critical Thinking resources to our fellow educators. The resources on this site are managed and/or created by the faculty of Metropolitan Community College - Longview for use in integrating Critical Thinking into all areas of the college curriculum. If you have linked your pages to our resources, or know someone who has please let us know! If you do link to us, please make sure you list us as: The intent of this site is to provide our fellow faculty members in every discipline with the most complete resources for integrating Critical Thinking into their classes. The resources are categorized by discipline with an additional category for the core resources which are applicable to all the disciplines. We appreciate that each discipline will have a different view of what Critical Thinking is and how it applies to that discipline and we encourage debate and contributions which reflect these views. As Educators and Philosophers we also maintain that there is a core group of skills and principles which are relevant to any academic discipline. We have tried to provide resources which will allow you to teach those skills and principles without compromising your individual discipline-specific views of how they should be applied.

The purpose of this site is to encourage discussion of just about anything to do with how we think. A common belief is that knowledge is power. It's not. Knowledge is ubiquitous in the Internet Age and thus grants no special privileges, no unique power. Certainly we need to have knowledge and stay current. But the real power comes from what we do with knowledge. In other words, in the 21st century power comes from our ability to think. The importance of thinking has prompted me to write a book about thinking entitled My Brain, My Future . I also write articles and speak to groups about thinking. My Day Job

So you could end up male or female, rich or poor, black or white, slave or owner, scientist or secretary. Since you don’t know what position you will occupy, you are said to be designing this society from behind a ‘veil of ignorance’.

All research begins with questions. Researching a topic means you need to know more about it, which means that there is something you don’t Education

Free From Faith
Comments on religion, science and scepticism.

Extractions: skip to main skip to sidebar My musings on religion and scepticism. The story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden is one of the most symbolically important in the Bible. Coming right at the beginning of the pentateuch, it acts as a necessary set-up to much of the rest of the Old and New Testaments and the religions they have inspired. The story holds within it one of the most fundamental tenets of Christianity - the inherent sinfulness of man - and therefore the entire justification for the sacrifice of Christ. God created Adam and Eve and put them in the Garden of Eden to take care of everything inside it. God told them that they could eat from any tree in the garden except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil - if they ate that, they would die. A talking serpent then approached Eve, tempting her to eat the forbidden fruit and to convince Adam to do the same. God found out and punished them (acting extremely surprised considering his omniscience), casting them out of Eden and never again allowing them the pure and idyllic life they had been blessed with before. It has seemed to me for a long time that the general interpretation of this story, that the serpent leads the naive humans to sin and therefore turn away from God's grace, is extremely skewed and that an objective interpretation, unencumbered by our society's ubiquitous framing of the story, would lead to a different conclusion.

From the net Pseudoskepticism of the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry's James Oberg ...physicists have also to check the calculations of quantum electrodynamics. This theory is assumed to be very well proven, but its predictions do not agree with these latest measurements. "A potential new energy source so controversial that people once regarded it as junk science is moving closer to acceptance by the mainstream scientific community." “The goal of the experiment was to see if we could see quantum mechanical effects in a large, mechanical object.” ... Does death exist? New theory says no Placebos are getting more potent "After decades in the jungles of fringe science, the placebo effect has become the elephant in the boardroom."
