What Galileo Wrought
a book review by John C. Snider
It has been nearly four centuries since Galileo Galilei lost his legendary showdown with the Catholic Church’s Court of the Inquisition. Threatened with imprisonment, torture and certain death, Galileo backed down — officially, at least — from his outrageous claim that the earth and the planets orbited the sun (a claim which he had the audacity to support with — gasp! — data, meticulously gathered and brilliantly analyzed).

Prediction failed
So where is our massive comet-caused tsunami, already? Psychic now says "it is possible the comet has already struck," and that "my vision didn't involve an immediate link between the comet and the wave." I know this has been submitted previously, but the site has been updated with his BS excuse now that the day has passed.

- A Sociedade do Espetáculo e o ET de Varginha
O fato é que o boato espalhou-se rapidamente e adquiriu uma dimensão incontrolável. Boatos são assim mesmo, não necessitam de provas.

- A Lua é uma Base OVNI?
A humanidade havia dado seu grande salto. E junto com mais de meio bilhão de pessoas grudadas à tela da TV, os outros mundos também teriam vindo assistir ao evento. Ao vivo.

- Roswell: Avaliando o mito
Acreditava que Roswell era um dos mais importantes e convincentes casos OVNI no mundo. Demonstrava, pensava eu, que o governo norte-americano tinha claramente na sua posse pelo menos um OVNI e os seus ocupantes.

Você já viu um lemingue? Eu devo admitir que não, pelo menos não ao vivo. Ouvi dizer que vivem nas highlands escandinavas e na tundra norte-americana. O único problema é que acabei de descobrir que eles não podem existir!

O pensador crítico é aquele que sabe avaliar as coisas. Sabe distinguir e separar noções. Muitas falácias e diversas falhas de raciocínio podem ser creditadas a discriminações inadequadas. Vamos ver algumas delas.

Temos um apetite por maravilhas, um apetite poético que a verdadeira ciência devia estar satisfazendo, mas que está sendo saqueado pelos que fornecem a superstição, o paranormal e a astrologia.

Ao redor do ano 2020 os alienígenas chegaram ao planeta Terra. O intercâmbio cultural resultou, logicamente, muito benéfico para ambas raças. Ato seguido, os alienígenas exterminaram toda a humanidade.

Em 1919, a burguesia alemã precisava experimentar quaisquer meios que justificassem a defesa do seu poder. Mitos e mágica mudaram-se das salas de visita e cafeterias para lutar contra razão e revolução.
