Skeptic Summary #5

By The Staff
Posted on: 9/10/2004

Artificial intelligence, SETI revisited, picturesque balloon, creationists, book queries, paranoia and more!


Week ending September 10, 2004 (Vol 1, #5)

Welcome to the Skeptic Summary, a quick week-in-review guide to the Skeptic Friends Network and the rest of the skeptical world.

Forum Highlights:
A.I. Possible? - What do you think about the limits of machine intelligence?

SETI - Looks like last week’s SETI@Home news was premature.

Virgin Mary Sighted on Balloon - And there’s Jesus on my pancake!

What field of science agrees with Creationists? - Well, if theology is a science…

Editor’s Choice: Ricky’s questions/comments on Demon Haunted World - Remember, folks, skepticism has no authorities so grand they cannot be questioned.
Kil’s Evil Pick:
The PQ Test - Are you a conspiracy buff? Find out with our exclusive, self-scoring PQ (Paranoia Quotient) test.
