Darwinisum

If the assumption you held was contrary to Mr. Pye's hypothesis, whatever the subject, there is a statistically significant probability you were less incorrect than he. There is a vast gulf between "Science" and "Sounds like science". Mr. Pye makes a lot of noise, and does no science whatsoever. On the other hand, there are those who find that sort of thing entertaining, assuring the genre a long and successful run despite evidence, reason and logic. If you're really credulous, and convinced there is a vast conspiracy to keep the truth from the masses, a website you'll find gratifying is www.rense.com. There you will find a continually updated compendium of the preposterous, from UFO Abductions to Communism-as-a-Zionist-Conspiracy, and you will be afforded the opportunity to purchase, among many other things unavailable elsewhere, secret homeopathic remedies, arthritis-curing magnetic sleeping pads, and a neck pendant you can wear to protect yourself from the ills of cellphone radiation.

Uh, Timber . . . do you recall how much they wanted for that pendant?

LOL, Set ... no, I don't. Personally, here in The Northwoods, I would appreciate whatever cooking effect a cellphone might have, this time of year

Bad, bad science. No method and no evidence, it is all anecodotal.

And how could you have two bodies, dying at the same time, but one is completely skeletonised and the other has flesh remaining (the "misshapen hand").

Timber.
On reflection...... There were so many facts and so many fictions in his discourse, I think I was overwhelmed by the fictiouse facts.

anton, I just don't go much for the fantastic. Are you familiar with James Randi? Check out www.randi.org ... he's merciless on Junk Science and paranormal claims.

Thanks you timber, have heard of J Randi but didn't know of his web site, will follow it through. thank you again.

Haha, that guy is a nutcase. Check this out:

A quick google will find well-established answers to these things, but he makes it out as a giant conspiracy.
