UM-Bot Posted October 14, 2006 #1 Share Posted October 14, 2006 If not for Pythagoras -- that old, gray-bearded Greek philosopher and mathematician from 2,500 years ago -- students today would still be hunched over their geometry homework, wondering how to draft a proof for the area of a right triangle. Good ole Pythagoras. Now he was a man of rational-thinking and logic, one might say. View: Full Article | Source: IDS News Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bella-Angelique Posted October 14, 2006 #2 Share Posted October 14, 2006 I do not see Randi as credible, just a magician who mocked Houdini and got his neck broken. I think the writer was doing well when he wrote about the subconscious but went off in the wrong direction by bringing up Randi. Randi is the skeptic version of a crazed fundementalist. You are as likley to be able prove anything to Randi that he does not already believe as you would be to a primitive Baptist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
