I never cared for that show.



Skepticality or Mythbusters?

One I can forgive :lol: …

:D

When I heard the "We're gonna prove Natural Selection" part of the interview and the discussion on the podcast, I got the impression the SGU guys thought he could have sort of been joking. Apparently not. Unless he was really puttin everyboy on at TAM. He sounds DEAD serious in that podcast I cited above. lol

Oh, I think he was serious, but it'll be a hard thing to pull off.  Not just to do it, but to do it in a way that makes for good TV would be quite a challenge.
The best debates are the ones in which I'm proven wrong.  Then I've learned something.

IRANIAN AIDS CURE PEER REVIEWED PAPER
« Reply #92 on: Mar 30, 2007, 07:30:22 AM »
I've found a peer-reviewed paper about IRANIAN AIDS CURE, which I quote:

"In the spirit of solidarity and human rights, for which we are famous, the Islamic Republic of Iran wants to share with the world (not you, jew!) the triumph of natural ancient wisdom over atheistic western artificial pharmacology:
 
Allah-is-the-Greatest homebrew recipe for curing AIDS:
 - pick a handful of our secret only-found-in-Iran herbs grown
 - under the radioactive warmth of one of our not-so-secret and supposedly-civilian-use-but-everybody-knows-better nuclear plants.
 - Dilute in holy muslim water several thousand times until you are sure to exceed avogadro's number in order to make the mixture, paradoxically, more effective. Keep the dilution in a closed recipient to prevent the vibrations so painfully obtained from escaping.
 Do not forget to look towards Mecca while diluting.
 - Add a little terapeutic touch by moving in circles a portrait of Ayatollah khomeini over the formula.
 - Finally, shake the preparation (like in homeopathy!) while firmly denying the Holocaust.
 
Dosage:
  Drink it 3 times a day thinking in the 72 virgins you will enjoy
 in paradise (sooner than later, no doubt)
 The preparation can also be chiropratically used.
 
Disclaimer and Secondary effects:
  The formula may be not as effective in women because it is very difficult to perform clinical tests to someone under a burka. Anyway, the value of a woman, is at most, half of a man, as Koran teaches; so we have not bothered much.
  It has been extremely hard to find homosexual patients to perform clinical tests. Undesired secondary effects, such as beheading or stoning, may occur to gay people."

It's easy to prove some kind of natural selection, but you will never do it the satisfaction of any creationsist or evolution denier, because they will arbitrarily set the criteria that you must turn a horse into a mushroom, or something similar.
