Skeptic Summary #13

The Air Force, the flying brain, the Redskins, the fence-sitters, and more!

Another reason to move to Canada - Honest, it’s not about the election. Really.

Artificial Intelligence just got more complicated - And it may not have done much for the safety of flight, either.

Editor’s Choice: Will the election be decided the October 31? - Just like the Red Sox, the Redskins shake off 76 years of tradition.

Fence-Sitting, by Dave W. - Should we try to convince the fence-sitters instead of the believers? You bet, but there are good and bad ways to go about it, and the fence may not sit where you think it does.

I, Robot by Massimo Pigliucci - Massimo seeks the mind-body connection.

Tower of Babel: The Evidence against the New Creationism, by Robert T. Pennock



“The face of creationism has been through some major plastic surgery in the past decade or so. The leading proponents of “intelligent design theory” have left the ranting flat-earth types behind and found respected positions in the academic world from which to launch attacks on mainstream science. Philosopher of science Robert T. Pennock has explored all sides of the ongoing debate, which remains (despite the protestations of many creationists) more about biblical inerrancy than scientific evidence. His book Tower of Babel examines the new directions antievolutionists have taken lately, but goes beyond a mere recounting of recent history by proposing a new avenue of counterattack: linguistics.”
