Another great show guys (and gals)! I’m a big fan of Saturday Fright Special (as opposed to Saturday Fright Night–heh, heh) and it was great to hear Mark and Issac chatting with the SFSN gang in this episode. Keep up the great work!
I found the “characterization” of skeptics rather disheartening. 🙁 Just because someone SOUNDS convincing is no reason to accept their assertions. Circumstantial anecdotes and assertions that some physical phenomenon “means” something doesn’t make it so. If there is such a plethora of actual evidence, why is it so widely ridiculed? I know that I would love for nothing more to have definitive evidence of extra-terrestrial life! It would thrill me beyond measure. Sadly, the actual evidence is weak, if not downright lacking.
The burden of providing actual, VERIFIABLE evidence does not lie with the person who does not accept a fringe opinion, but rather with the person making the assertion. If you really look at Mr. Freidman’s evidence, it is weak at best, consisting mainly of asserting that something unknown or weird means this, and don’t question my conclusion (much like religious folks start off with a conclusion before even looking at the data).
