		<description><![CDATA[This video is a great primer on how easy it is to misattribute probability to events in hindsight. Specifically, it demonstrates why ascribing supernatural causes to rare events is fallacious. This is the mistake made by evolution deniers who believe that the appearance of a conscious being is too unlikely to happen naturally. Thanks to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This post is a response to the December 11th episode of Raborn Johnson and Steve Sensenig’s wonderful podcast Beyond the Box. The podcast is basically the two’s take on Christianity free from the interpretational filter of organized religion. Even as a non-believer, I find the podcast intelligent, thought provoking, and entertaining. I highly recommend listening [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is what can happen when people take psychics seriously. A Canadian School Board made accusations of sexual abuse based on a psychic&#8217;s &#8216;vision&#8217;. Leduc said they advised her that Victoria&#8217;s educational assistant (EA) had visited a psychic, who said a youngster whose name started with &#8220;V&#8221; was being sexually abused by a man between [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The above comic is created and licensed by Rudis Muiznieks of Cectic.com. Not only does this comic point out the absurdity of treating any &#8216;alternative&#8217; theory seriously, it actually makes a deeper point. It&#8217;s also a critic of modern American media. When the media reports on almost any issue, it tries to report on both [...]]]></description>

Now, that very same government is implementing new laws that protect gullible consumers from supposed fortune tellers, mediums, spiritual healers, etc. The new laws require such &#8216;psychics&#8217; to demonstrate the efficacy of their trade before selling [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I found an excellent article on the website Science Progress via RichardDawkins.net. It was written by Leah Ceccarelli and is about a class of sophistry that is 2,500 years old yet is being used to great effect by anti-science elements in recent decades. The technique manufactures a controversy where none exists to create public confusion [...]]]></description>
