    What's your understanding of what it means to be a scientist?

    A scientist is someone who seeks to discover how Nature works. This is done by hypothesis-testing through observation and experimentation using appropriate methodology, analysing the results and formulating a conclusion. It's that simple. What sort of answer are you looking for? I feel there...

    Quiet, introverted people

    No, not really. I'm not much of a people-person (never have been), so I'm happy in my own company. Social situations, such a parties and gatherings, terrify me, so I avoid them whenever possible. I am very close to a few people, but they can be counted on one hand! My philosophy is the less...

    What do you think of paying to hear a religious speaker?

    I would favour the first option. As you said, not everyone has the money available, so optional donations would be good.

    What do you think of paying to hear a religious speaker?

    Ticket-only entry is probably for logistic reasons. If everyone and his mate decided to turn up, it would be chaotic.

    What do you think of paying to hear a religious speaker?

    Yes, I think it would. If that money was going to a worthy cause, I wouldn't mind paying for the privilege of hearing someone I admired speak.

    Respecting the law.

    OK, an example: if it is within the law to stone someone to death for their sexuality or for having an affair, then that law is not worthy of my respect.

    What do you think of paying to hear a religious speaker?

    Was the money going to charity?

    Respecting the law.

    If it infringes on civil liberties or is a product of hate and intolerance, then it's not worthy of respect.

    Do you know the meaning of your name?

    It does, indeed. And may I say it's a damn fine name, Sir.

    I'm Chuda! Lovely to be here at this forum!

    Respecting the law.

    "Let your life be a counter-friction to stop the machine. What I have to do is to see that I do not lend myself to the wrong which I condemn." Thoreau The law should be respected only if it deserves respect.

    Hate trying to think of titles to these threads

    How dangerous is the Ouija Board

    I think the 'paranormal' is a valid field for scientific study. If the 'spirits' are having an influence on the real world (in this case, physically moving a glass and spelling out a message), then science can legitimately investigate this and determine whether an alternative materialistic...

    How dangerous is the Ouija Board

    No, my mistake. I can see how my use of the term ‘all nonsense’ could be interpreted as me implying that Derren Brown’s programme conclusively de-bunked all Ouija board experiences. I was referring to the specific situation depicted in the programme i.e. how the participants were manipulated...

    How dangerous is the Ouija Board

    It wasn't designed to be scientific - it was a TV programme showing how people can be manipulated into believing what someone wants them to believe. Derren Brown was upfront with the viewers about what he was planning to do and he did it - no spiritual forces involved at all. There may be more...
