The Power of Belief with James Randi

[yanong_banikanhon]

This is thread is nothing but a hate thread. Kun ang end result ani mao lang ang away sa mga theists ug atheists tungod sa mga bugal2x ug mga offending remarks, I believe the best thing to do is to lock it.

Think about this for a minute: Gi-announce ug gipamugos ba ni yanong diri nga thread nga motuo ang usa ka orc sa GOD? Kun wala ko nagsangyaw sa akong pagtoo diri, then why should I bother presenting the evidence of my personal belief to an orc?

On the contrary, ikaw man ang nanghagit sa mga theists, ikaw ang mopakita og ebidensya. Para mutuo mi nimo. Bi, ipakita ang ebidensya nga ang first living organism originated from a random chemical process without the aid of any intelligence. Ipakita dayon!

Simple ra gyud kaayo ang tanan, orc. Tagsa-tagsa dunay kagawasan pagtoo sa ilang gustong tuohan. Unsaon man nato pag-ensure nga dili mahanaw kining maong kagawasan? Simple answer: R-E-S-P-E-C-T. The moment you start posting inflammatory comments and start mocking the theists and their GOD, you actually start destroying this freedom.

pinoy_09, would you believe they used to offer a course called Parapsychology in De La Salle U, with Jaime Licauco as head instructor? I'm not sure if they're still offering that or if they consider that a science. That's really a blemish on the school's reputation, in my opinion.

Yes, I've heard years ago from someone (when I was little ) that Jaime Licauco taught a course in Parapsychology but I wasn't sure which school. Let's hope they no longer have it in their curriculum, but if they still do, then how hypocritical of them. But then again, if it does in fact still remain in their curriculum, that means the administration approves of it, which means they're not skeptics themselves.

I believe, several years back, Licauco and James Randi had a back-and-forth exchange in the Inquirer, because the former claimed to have ESP. And you know what happens when Randi hears about claims like that: $1 million challenge! Randi, you'd be surprised to know, used to perform magic tricks in Manila as a professional conjurer.

In Manila? Didn't know about that.

James Randi's 80-something now. I'm not sure who'll be the next iconic skeptic in the US. One advantage a professional magician has over lay people is that they know how to fool people with misdirections and props. Imagine a charlatan trying to prove his supernatural powers in front of, say, Penn & Teller...or Criss Angel or Derren Brown. Uggghhh....what a nightmare. It would be like that James Hydrick humiliation on live TV.

My number one candidate would be Shermer, next would probably be Criss Angel, considering he's got his one foot in the magic business and the other as a skeptic. You'd be surprised how much Criss Angel hates charlatans. I don't know if you've seen that video with him and Uri Gellar on youtube. Check it out.

ABS-CBN, I should say, have had a history of showing documentaries about psychic healings, ghost stories, seances, quack medicines, etc. I think they don't have a policy that prohibits sensationalizing these things, because it's good for their ratings. Sad to say, we don't have the Shermers or the Randis or the Penn & Tellers in our country...all these people are atheists by the way. Because although theists can be skeptics, they can be accused of double standard by the quacks. The quacks will just question: What makes your supernatural beliefs more true than mine? They can't say that to the atheist, because it doesn't apply. Unfortunately, in the Philippines, the atheists are a demonized bunch. The moment a person would say he doesn't believe in a God, he's already lost so much credibility.

One other topic worth discussing about, is how atheists in the Philippines feel living in a country so deeply rooted in religion. Perhaps other atheists in istorya who are in the country can answer this.

My apologies if it's not working. Anyway, can you believe Peter Popoff continues to scam people out of their hard-earned money til this day?
