Are cellphones killing bees? CCD: Colony Collapse Disorder has been ravaging bee colonies around the world. If it continues, some people are worried that it will wipe out the honeybee, seriously affecting our eco-system. The Independent recently reported that cellphones & celltowers might be the cause! Is this true? Or is this just inflammatory journalism? NOTE: Many bee experts are still doubtful that CCD is actually occuring. Many attribute it to regular patterns of die-off, habitat invasion, retirement of beekeepers, etc. According to wikipedia, Landau University has now disavowed the newspaper article. Plus, CCD Hives have NOT been found among hobbyists (who WOULD tend to be in areas of heavy cellphone use). The theory Landau U gave for WHY they thought phones would cause problems has been labeled as JUNK SCIENCE by many. Wikipedia seems to be the best source of online information on this. I recommend going to the "discussion page" for the latest info.

The Bible's Buried Secrets The PBS series "NOVA" has a very interesting episode on the degree to which the archaeological record does and does not confirm the historicity of the Bible. Link: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/bible/ For those outside the United States, one of my viewers indicates that the following link can be used to access the program. (I didn't know PBS doesn't make its programming available outside the United States. That's ridiculous.): http://www.download.com/Hotspot-Shield/3000-2092_4-10594721.html If you have any questions about this, contact user Riversonthemoon (I don't know anything about it). Thanks. If all else fails, here's a link to PBS's YouTube channel where a number of bits from the program are available for viewing: http://www.youtube.com/user/PBS Tags: Bible, Canaan, Christian, David, Egypt, Exodus, Hebrew, Israel, Jehovah, Jericho, Jesus, Jew, Joshua, King, Midiam, Moses, NOVA, Old, PBS, Solomon, Temple, Testament, YHWH, Yahweh, agnostic, apologetics, archaeological, archaeology, atheist, believer, burning, bush, chosen, destruction, evidence, exegesis, faith, god, hermeneutics, historical, history, ignostic, land, legend, military, monotheism, myth, pagan, people, polytheism, promised, reason, record, science, scriptures, skeptic, theist 1 Downloads - Last from: (Your Blog here!) |

Tim Minchin - Storm (Subtitulado en Castellano) Tim Minchin es un actor, musico y comediante ingles, nacionalizado australiano. Sus obras de teatro, canciones y comedias se caracterizan por ampliamente críticas con multitud de ideas preconcebidas por la mayoria de la sociedad. Se declara escéptico, ateo y racionalista. Este es el motivo por el cual ha dedicado muchas de sus obras a criticar conceptos como Dios, las religiones, las terapias alternativas, el más allá y un multitud de otras pseudociencias. Y lo mejor de todo: lo hace con humor. Mucho humor. En esta ocasión, recita un "poema de 9 minutos" como el dice, en el cual nos explica la historia de lo acontecido en una cena entre el, su esposa y una amiga de su esposa un tanto....hippy. Dicha amiga, que se llama Storm, es creyente en todo tipo de tonterias: desde la homeopatia, al más allá, el alma, etc. Tim Minchin retrata con gran acierto lo absurdo de los argumentos que esgrimen muchos de estos seguidores de la "nueva era" tales como "Este product es natural", "La ciencia es cerrada de mente", etc. Simplemente, no os lo podeis perder. Y de paso, os dejo otra gran actuación suya y que va con el mismo tono: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5GJIosV5tg http://www.cerebrosnolavados.es/ Tags: Tim Minchin, alma, astrologia, boiron, ciencia, escepticismo, escepticos, fantasmas, homeopatia, homeopatía, metodo cientifico, más allá, parapsicologia, pensamiento crítico, pensamiento racional, pseudociencia, skeptic, terapias alternativas 1 Downloads - Last from: http://www.google.es/reader/view/ (Your Blog here!) |
