Anyone seen any reviews of Gary Null's movie, Knocking on the Devil's Door by someone who knows something about the subject? I see that this particular showing in Columbus, Ohio is "Co-sponsored by the Free Press, Sierra Club, the Central Ohio Green Education Council and the Film Council of Greater Columbus." Anti-nuclear activist Harvey Wasserman is in the film and will be speaking about it at this showing. Could anything by Gary Null be good?

Have no clue...never heard of him before now.

So I guess my reply was totally useless.

Oh well.

At least it is up front about being anti-nuclear.

It uses Argumentum ad miseracordium and anectdotes rather than hard evidence.

He's a multiply-offending quack, woo, and science attacker, plus a direct recipient of money from that very misinformation, because he sells many phony "supplements" while making false claims about their healthful effects.

If Null told me it was dark outside, I would not just check my watch, I'd look out the window as well. (Actually, that hyperbole was inaccurate. I wouldn't check either watch or window. If Gary Null said it was dark, I'd know it was the middle of a sunny day, and also realize that he was about to try to sell a flashlight to me.)

Thanks all. None of it useless. Glad I decided to go have a beer with the local atheist group instead.

Atheists or not, beer's almost always good!
