OK... Over wine, my colleagues and I had a heated yet polite debate about global overpopulation pro/con. My two debaters were a Canadian and Australian. Their arguments (in a nutshell): - Countries such as India and China are growing too rapidly for sustainability. Countries like Canada...

From "All in the Mind" on BBC Radio 4 You can hear the programme by clicking on the link under "Listen again" on this page (requires Real Player). 9/11 doesn't get a mention but all you JREF ninja government shills should find it interesting nonetheless ... eta - the CT bit is the last 5...

Searching on Web of Knowledge etc., have been surprised that I couldn't find articles on 9/11 conspiracy theories in 'academic'/peer-reviewed journals (found a couple that look at this in a tangential way, but nothing that gives them much time). I can understand why these wouldn't be taken...

Why do some events generate conspiracy theories, but others don't? Why conspiracy theories about JFK, Lincoln, 9/11, etc... but not for Oklahoma City, Unabomber, James Garfield, shuttle disasters?

There is a very lucid review of issues raised by 9/11 conspiracy theories at Salon today. The article is by a pilot and deals with evidence and myths about the capabilities of the hijckers to fly the planes and hit their targets. Anyway, here is the link. However, it is a subscription site...

A thought wormed into my head a while back. I'm thinking that people who so feverently believe in elaborate Conspiracies might be doing so as a sort of defense mechanism to trauma. This may only apply to Conspiracies involving massive, horrific events, such as 9/11 or the Holocaust. But think...

In the history of science, have there ever been two radically differing scientific theories - but that make exactly the same predictions, and could be tested with exactly the same experiments? Of course, assuming there is objective truth (a fair assumption I think), then the fact that the...

I know the prize is usually for "paranormal" events, but would someone proving the existence of "chemtrails" be elgible? I am wondering because I'm in the middle of a debate with someone who now claims that he has personally seen "chemtrails" being distributed. He offered photos but I demanded...

Those whacky guys at Stormfront... :dl:

Heres a few conspiracies I can come up with off the top of my head: We never walked on the moon A missile crashed into the Pentagon, not a plane Oswald was framed as the lone killer There is a worldwide conglomeration of atheist scientists who want to suppress evidence for Creation and...

Bush says all theories of life have place in classroom

Surfing in the wake of a recent ruling to have Georgia's Cobb County remove " Theory of Evolution " disclaimer stickers from textbooks, Georgia State Representative Ben Bridges is introducing a bill would that allow for broader approaches when schools teach the origin of life...

The following story is circulating in Athens during the last week but unfortunately I don't have to provide any links. Since I attended several New Year's Eve parties I heard this story in various places. According to this conspiracy theory, the tsunami wasn't caused by an earthquake but by...

GUST --- Cryptozoologists : A Bigfoot was hurt in the fire according to an anonymous government employee, who alerted the Bigfoot Field Research Organization (BFRO). The story was later dismissed but acclaimed author and science teacher Thom Powell believe it really happened and that the whole...

Someone know of such website?

These are very "interesting" conspiracy theories, ibut I have not the background knowledge to thoroughly debunk them on my own. http://www.thefinalphase.com - my problem with this conspiracy theory is that even the communists (e.g. Hoxha) were predicting the fall of the Soviet Union as early as...

Does anyone here know much about the various conspiracy theories surrounding the 1996 TWA flight 800 disaster off Long Island, New York? It's easy to find conspiracy theories about it on the Internet, but it's harder to find skeptics with aviation/missile-fire knowledge to debunk them. One good...

It is my understanding that the average human can neurally represent pure soundwaves within a range of 20hz-20,000hz. But how the brain exacts this neurochemical "match game" is another story. If my understanding is correct, three theories with roots as early as the mid to late 1800's are the...
