When Scientific Minds Turns To The Dark Side

One of the things in the scientific community this days is the panic in where pseudoscience begins to operate and starts to boil the blood and minds of many scientist and skeptics. This mind blowing scenes of illogical, irrational and absolute rubbish science creates a very agonizing atmosphere to future scientist. Certain things like wrack science or tethered scientist manifesting a wrong doing of science, and therefore, corrupting the minds of the people who are not aware of the science behind it and purely making them believe magic tricks while disguising pseudoscience with science. Is a clear example of how pissed-off a scientist can get when this sort of things happens.

A clear example of this sort of "crimes" is Dr. Rupert Sheldrake and Barbara Ann Brennan.

(This are the description of the criminal minds extracted from the Wikipidia)

-Dr. Rupert Sheldrake is a Ph.D in biochemestry from the University of Cambride, England. He is known for having proposed a non-standard account of morphogenesis and for his research into parapsychology . His books and papers stem from his theory of morphic resonance <---(Does this even works under 10^-12 or also called 1 Picotesla?), and cover topics such as animal and plant development and behaviour, memory, telepathy, perception and cognition in general. His publications include A New Science of Life (1981), Seven Experiments That Could Change the World (1995), Dogs That Know When Their Owners Are Coming Home (1999), and The Sense of Being Stared At (2003).


-Barbara Brennan is an American author, spiritual healer, businesswoman and teacher working mainly in the field of "energy healing" . She coined the term "High Sense Perception" to describe her work. Brennan received a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics in 1962 from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and two years later received her Masters in Atmospheric Physics from the same institution. She then worked as a research scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. From 1970, she researched and worked with the "human energy field". She completed a two–year program in Therapeutic Counselling at the Community of the Whole Person in Washington, D.C., followed by a three-year program in Core Energetics at the Institute for Core Energetics in New York, New York in 1978 and a five-year program in Spiritual Healership at the Phoenicia Pathwork Center in Phoenicia, New York in 1979. She was strongly influenced by Eva and John Pierrakos, who founded a system for self-transformation called the Pathwork, drawing on the ideas of Wilhelm Reich. Brennan worked with the Pierrakos, and became...

Science, Psychology and Type-1 Error

Every person in the American society theorizes about many paranormal activities. The widespread of folklore and insignificant evidence within the paranormal are a significant introduction for superstitious beliefs. For decades this notion of the transcendent, supernatural or numinous, usually involving entities like ghosts, demons or deities, is a cultural universal shared by all human cultures.

Since this phenomena has been around for years we must seek for an explanation for this paranormal activities. As a result the most common explanation is within the imagination of the human mind causing paredolia and apophenia.

A type 1 error (false positive, false alarm, caused by an excess in sensitivity) is a situation created when the brain interprets random patterns as being familiar patterns according to Charles M. Wynn and Arthur W. Wiggins from the book "Quantum leaps in the wrong direction:where real Science Ends and Pseudoscience Begins" . When a person that often believes in paranormal events as something beyond the natural and has claimed for evidence of "seeing" the paranormal activity as a scientific evidence of this phenomena, they don't realize that it could have been a very common type 1 error. For this reason there is a way to explain a paranormal event with a consistent scientific explanation.

But you must be thinking, In what we can associate a type 1 error? Common locations of this error are often found in EVP ( Electro Voice Phenomenon), RF ( Radio Frequency), ITC (InstrumentalTranCommunication) where supernatural phenomenon such as ghost, things moving, poltergeists and voices are commonly found.

Every attribute given as supernatural belief like "ghost trapped in this world", "ghost with unfinished business" , "unexplained energy", "objects flying and moving", "weird steps", "Cold temperatures when a ghost is present" and the "white noise from EVP" creates a concern for all living things and a certain respect to be in harmony with the phenomena. When this values are present the believer often avoids all scientific evidence supporting this values and therefore, creating paranormal beliefs without significant evidence. Like Albert Budden defines in "The poltergeist machine",

"By definition, the paranormal does not conform to conventional expectations of the natural. Therefore, a phenomenon cannot be confirmed as paranormal using the scientific method because,if it was, it would no longer fit the definition."

(This definition is quit interesting because if the hoaxers and frauds where able to get away with their work, than Albert Budden and the scientific method would be wrong by definition.)

When expanding sensory images we often realize that by the time a paranormal event occurs the believer will fight for the farther truth without a sense of logic, by the time this happens, feelings an apophenia will shine a ray of hope to insignificant data.

There is many organizations that today, still believe that all of this supernatural phenomena are based in the regular type 1 error attributes like: James Randi Foundation and Foundation for Paranormal Research which I consider serious.There is also a lot of other foundations and organizations that try to explain this phenomena without the scientific method like: Florida Paranormal Research Foundation and organizations of self-proclaimed serious,critical researchers when they seem to work with psychics like Ghost Research Foundation. And I must say i'm not emphasizing foundations applying psedo-scientific explanations for many things than physics can explain.

So people when you see a movie about ghost, hear the radio about the paranormal and watch TV shows talking about psedo-science don't forget that there is no farther truth than to find significant evidence about the subject and a rational explanation to give.

Boldness, God and Science

I have to admit that this past few days I have been having some interesting discussions about what is going on in bold science today.

Although I'm not a scientist or I'm not studying Physics (Which i will in the future), I have been reading a whole bunch of books and articles about Science, studied mathematics by my own and I'm person that needs a rational explanation about nature itself. I agree that I still need more education to at least debate something about science, but I want to discuss something that should be debate.

Not long ago, I had a great conversation about God with one of my cousins. He strongly believes that the theory of evolution is a completely fake, because we humans are made on gods image. I strongly disagree on that because we don't really know what's the image of god itself.

During the conversation we talked about different subjects like, robots, spirits, demons, mind control and many other stuff. we specially talk about spirits and demons. The great part of that subject is that he claims to believe that such things actually exist, spirits, demons, belzebu etc... namely that even thou he claims to have seen spirits or that even his house have been haunted, I still don't believe that such things actually exist.

The particular reason of why I don't think such mythologist beliefs exist is because even that we may not have an explanation in some supernatural event, there is always going to have a breach to question it. There for a simple and rational explanation will appear. Such things like spirits can't exist because we don't know what god or whatever it is that created the universe, is planning, doing, thinking and dreaming. In particular it seems that actually god is made upon our own image HAHAHAHAHAH!

The people with such beliefs of spiritualism doesn't realize that every demon, every spirit, every supernatural event, every exorcist, every witch, every pseudoscience, every close minded, are based in the thoughts of the human mind since the beginning of religion. Every kind of mystic being or religion and every kind of mystic belief without a rational explanation of such mystic being or event are just a mind control of masses. I think that all of this mystic things that had been around since centuries are pure business, they make others be blind folded to avoid any medical treatment with this great excuse "god is just testing you to see if you are prepare to go to heaven" The religion itself can make some money out of that belief. I strongly belief that innocence about science is the worst crime today.

Which in particular that should be debated in justice. But the majority of those kind of religions, cases where some religions have gods called Eminen, Shakira or President Obama. Are more punished than the church of Christianity itself. Not that I have something against christianity.

The faith that this people have are completely wrong inside a numerous factors of beliefs, per example the ethical faith still struggling against the spiritualist religions. And not just that but also the willing of not wanting to belief that we don't know what god is! and they prefer to have faith in the bible!...instead of faith in one self and the ethics that the humans created. Let's say I believe that at some point in ethics you really don't know what god is!!!... instead of believing that!! they belief that in some point you have to have faith in the bible, Jesus Christ and God itself.

That actually my friends is not fair this occurs because in my opinion every minute you pray, every minute you think that being clement is actually going to give you points to go to heaven are just avoiding you to see the reality of life itself. That reality is that every day there is people dieing on the streets, there are wars that haven't been avoid, there are killers, cowards, braves, and every thing you can think of, that they do claim for a piece of heaven but they don't seem to have the same luck that some other people have. Ins't that unfair? why not everyone goes to heaven? do they have the fault of not going to heaven? or they just didn't had faith in god or had some special problem that actually some person couldn't handle. Why the preachers and believers in religion thinks that god sent his own son down to earth to do the work for god? I thought that god could do everything!

I think faith is very important but depends in what kind of faith you belief, if is good for yourself and for others that is good faith, but if is good for yourself and god! is not good because one is being selfish with oneself by not accepting the pure reality of things. we have to take action to secure humanity. What we cannot do is to stay put and pray to god to save us.

Why do believers actually feel honored that he/she sent Jesus to earth? was it because god is so full of love that he/she decided to take a vacation?

Don't really know... but I have to admit that even thou this people exist I can't help to respect there believes, aether way science and religion are almost the same story the only problem is that from the part of science we don't accept religion to be close minded and for the part of religion they don't accept science to be open minded.
