Scientists click here for a free belly laugh..

Take a look at this, it's a classic example of someone who is using scientific "language" in order to gain credibility with an audience, she is either a fraudster or deluded. Being charitable and assuming the latter, I find it incredible that she thinks the mash-ups she invents in her head constitute knowledge that is worth communicating, she even calls herself "doctor". I can only fantasise about what she studied to come up with this crud. Anyone who finds this convincing is probably one of those people who voted for creationism to be taught in science lessons.



If, like me, you now feel dirty having watched this nonsense and need a refreshing antidote, here is a real scientist, Lawrence Krauss explaining how something can come from nothing (a popular religious objection to the big bang theory), the cutting edge of physics and cosmology is so much more interesting than the made up homoeopathic crap. Compare and contrast, notice how the homoeopath rigorously avoids any mention of the concept of "testing"; perhaps someone should suggest smashing homoeopaths together in the LHC, see if we can find the particle responsible for all that bull-shit.

What an interesting post. I've been out of action with the flu but look forward to catching up on your posts this week.

Hi E, Krauss is really worth listening to IMO.
