    Claim: The Indian/Chinese systems of nadis/meridians have been proved by science because of hyaluronic acid and piezoelectricity

    ...science unknown to the west and it is (ab)used in a way that makes Yoga and Ayurveda anything you want it to be. There's dozens of scriptures written on these paths yet we think we can just feel our way through it, which understandably gives Yoga and Ayurveda a woo woo pseudo-science reputation.

    Poll : Which DOD Navy video do you consider debunked ?

    ...enough. MB does enjoy delving into explanations too. But maybe you can start a poll and ask which NAVY videos exhibit enough evidence to think they might be extraterrestrial. It seems you are asking alot from the debunkers, but not alot from the woo spreaders. <that is just my viewpoint of...

    Pentagon June 2021 Report on 120+ UAP Incidents

    Are you conflating the $22Mill AATIP had with what the UAPTF may of had?

    Mexican President Posts Photo of a Mayan Elf

    ...a British term for witch seems... wrong. Possibly this was written in some other language then poorly translated into English, confusing some points? Not sure what to make of this. I found this word for word on two UFO/woo sites. This is the one that did not make my antivirus get all...

    Comprehensive UAP Hypothesis

    ...- until I listened to the interview. I agree that your use of the word is technically correct - but when we hear the asssociations with Skinwalker Ranch , CE-5 and 'experiencers' I think the word 'phenomenon' has had its meaning broadened to include all sorts of spiritualism, mysticism and woo.

    Dr. Dan Stock Argues Against Vaccines at Mt. Vernon, IN School Board Meeting

    I read that as a reference to the common woo-based healthcare belief that because the immune system is natural, and natural=good, that anything that "unnaturally" impacts it is bad -- vaccines, because they are not naturally secreted by trees or something, and because they make changes to the...

    Experts being "gagged"

    ...Apollo hoaxers, and the like. It may be a more effective argument to make to those on the fence, or as an "inoculation" against falling for woo that somebody will encounter in the future. Adapting advice from "Pastels and Pedophiles," a book about the Q-Anon conspiracy theory complex (to...

    Claim: The Indian/Chinese systems of nadis/meridians have been proved by science because of hyaluronic acid and piezoelectricity

    Agreed. Indeed there is no scientific proof of nadis. Thanks, I see your point. I guess the original question has been discussed above.. To me, this sounds unlikely (that science has mapped anything that matches nadis or other "networks"). The problem is of course that these terms and...

    Explained: Exactly 5.55555556% (1/18) of votes for Trump across multiple precincts [Cherry Picked, Expected Ratios]

    ...for putting this so succinctly. I am reminded of an episode of what may or may not have been /Penn & Teller's Bullshit/, where someone with a woo-woo-meter (probably flux, maybe bogons) walks around a "haunted" house, and at one point exclaims "it's reached 14.8!", with responses of "that's...

    ...panel" is subjective; why would it be? The "Metabunk panel" has identified unidentified stuff a-plenty. And I'd say that splitting cases up with respect to likely explanations is effort well spent. It does a lot to curb "woo" proponents, and gives a better sense of where the actual...

    Alien Bodies at a Mexican UAP Hearing

    ...access to 1000 year old human remains, because I'm not a grave robber, but I could potentially carve a little alien figurine out of 500 year old wood, claim I found it when working in the forest (I mean, I have found undocumented cultural remains before that way, though just maybe 200 years...

    Welcome Thread - New Members Post Here

    ...Mick West on Skeptical Inquirer Presents. I greatly appreciate the book, especially during these days of misinformation. I used to be into the woo (recovered ghost hunter here) and as I asked more questions from helpful skeptics, I gradually became a skeptic myself and wrote a blog about...

    UAPs, Bigelow, and the "Invisible College"

    ...see any reason to believe these people would be directly involved with Navy witnesses though. One thing to keep in mind is that despite their woo beliefs Puthoff and Eric Davis are still legitimate physicists and the government obviously has seen value in continuing to work with them for so...

    "GO FAST" Footage from Tom DeLonge's To The Stars Academy. Bird? Balloon?

    You'll find no argument from me in regards to Leslie Kean, she's a full woo-believer 100%. That said, the article was co-written by Ralph Blumenthal who is a legitimate journalist with a large body of respected work. I'm hesitant to dismiss their work completely due to his involvement. I...

    "GO FAST" Footage from Tom DeLonge's To The Stars Academy. Bird? Balloon?

    The explanation of aliens, ghosts or bigfoot are interdimensional beings by the paranormal community is because there is no way to argue against an unproven theory based on no evidence. For instance, it is very difficult to explain away a creature that has lived side by side with humans since...

    Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot film is a hoax?

    ...say "hoax"? Saying its of poor quality, and that hinders us from finding the zipper is making excuses. I like Michael Shermer's quip about the woo crowd trying to prove something from anecdotal evidence: "combining a hundred cups of weak coffee does not make a pot of strong coffee". And...

    Needs Debunking: CE-5, humans initiating UFO sightings

    ...wildly different answers to these queries, then it's indistinguishable from them talking to themselves. All we EVER get from "CE5" and similar woo are nebulous messages about good will and attaining spiritual enlightenment on a higher plane or some similar drivel. If one is actually...

    Secrets of skinwalker ranch - simple debunk of magnetic deviation

    This is my first reply to one of Taylor's observations from “secrets of skinwalker ranch series 2” - and I will present my evidence, show my arguments and then would love to hear any counter explanation. So here goes; the episode clip is on youtube and just a few mins, can be seen here...
