Carnegie curator since 1993, Livezey oversaw a collection of nearly 195,000 specimens of birds, the country’s ninth largest. Livezey died in a two-car crash on Route 910, authorities said. An autopsy revealed he died from injuries to the head and trunk, the Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s Office said. Northern Regional Police are investigating.

#104

Dr Massoud Ali Mohammadi, 50, was assassinated Jan. 11 when a remote-control bomb inside a motorcycle near his car was detonated. This professor of nuclear physics at Tehran University was politically active and his name was on a list of Tehran University staff who supported Mir Hossein Mousavi according to Newsweek. The London Times reports that Dr. Ali-Mohammadi told his students to speak out against the unjust elections. He stated “We have to stand up to this lot. Don’t be afraid of a bullet. It only hurts at the beginning.” Iran seems to be systematically assassinating high level professors and doctors who speak out against the regime of President Ahmadinejad. However, Iran proclaims that Israel and America used the “killing as a means of thwarting the country’s nuclear program” per Newsweek.

Robert Shope, age 74. Died: January 23, 2004.  Virus Expert Who Warned of Epidemics, Dies died of lung transplant complications.  Later purported to have died of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis which can be caused by either environmental stimulus or a VIRUS.  It would not be hard to administer a drug that would cause Dr. Shope’s lung transplant to either be rejected or to cause complications from the transplant. Dr. Shope led the group of scientists who had an 11 MILLION dollar fed grant to ensure the new lab would keep in the nasty bugs. Dr. Shope also met with and worked with Dr. Mike Kiley on the UTMB Galveston lab upgrade to BSL 4. When the upgrade would be complete the lab will host the most hazardous pathogens known to man especially tropical and emerging diseases as well as bioweapons.

 ‘Dr. Roger’ Died: Summer 2003. ‘Roger’ was pseudonym for this genetics scientist. He was 17 and lived in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947 when the unexplained object crashed. He told a woman he worked with in 1977 named ‘Kate’ while employed by the Navy, who he helped to clean up the crash site of the 1947 UFO. He subsequently went to work for the government at this young age and ended up a geneticist working in China Lake for the Navy. Although he lived in fear and hiding soon after he told his story to Kate, he retired in late 1990s or early 2000′s and she saw him again once in early 2002 in San Diego. He told her she was in danger to talk to him and he left the store. In 2003 she received a phone call from his ‘friend’ who said he had been executed in his retirement home in Connecticut. The body had been removed by a black government looking vehicle. The home had been cleaned up and the body removed without any public notices of his death or existence. Many disfigured and abnormal animals were found in the desert near Groom Lake during his time there and after. Kate thought he might have been doing this gruesome experimental work.

It was thought he was involved with exhuming the bodies of the 10 London victims of the 1919 Type A flu epidemic. Pasechnik died six weeks after the planned exhumations were announced.  On November 23, 2001, Pasechnik’s death was reported in the New York Times as having occurred two days earlier.  Pasechnik’s death was made in the United States by Dr. Christopher Davis of Virginia, who stated that the cause of death was a stroke. Dr. Davis was the member of British intelligence who de-briefed Dr. Pasechnik at the time of his defection.  Pasechnik was heavily involved in DNA sequencing research.  He had just founded a company like three other microbiologists working to provide powerful alternatives to antibiotics.  Dr. Vladimir Pasechnik was the boss of William C. Patrick III who holds 5 patents on the militarized anthrax used by the United States.  Patrick is now a private biowarfare consultant to the military and CIA. Patrick developed the process by which anthrax spores could be concentrated at the level of one trillion spores per gram. No other country has been able to get concentrations above 500 billion per gram. The anthrax that was sent around the eastern United States last fall was concentrated at one trillion spores per gram.

Now for the intriguing part of this story. On Friday, November 2nd, the Washington Post reported: ”Officials are now scrambling to determine how a quiet, 61-year-old Vietnamese immigrant, riding the subway each day to and from her job in a hospital stockroom, was exposed to the deadly anthrax spores that killed her this week. They worry because there is no obvious connection to the factors common to earlier anthrax exposures and deaths: no clear link to the mail or to the media.

      What’s that charity that helps identify reporters who’ve been killed? Is there one for scientists mysteriously dying?

    • Anonymous

      Some may be tempted to see this as a concerted effort to dumb
      down the genetic potential of those who are not “chosen”. Or
      if chosen then only to serve those that are chosen (at least
      according to their own scriptures).

      The false flag nukes could be traced by DNA type matching forensics.

      The Mel Gibson last film was about his daughter exposing a false flag nuke facility, nuke on US city would trace to Iran.

      Also bioweapons DNA tracing.

      Many of these scientists were snuffed by ZATO, Mossad, CIA , MI6.

      The false flag WMD is to bring in NWO police state martial law, and WW3, following is abolishment of all religion, and a one world humanism or luciferian open society of utopia (false after just 3.5yrs falls apart and exposed as fraud)

      Pre-rapture tribulation is a joo Scofeild perversion of bible injected into colleges 100yrs ago sponsored by Zionist joos.

      The jews want Christians to lay down and wait for rapture and JC, while rest store food and ammo and network a sustained lifestyle outside the Luciferian microchipped society.

      http://synopibit.ly/so14l7 sorry but totally wrong. The synoptic and the fourth gospels offer different accounts of Jesus’ cruxifiction. It was likely that rather than “betraying” Jesus, Judas Iscariot (a suspect zealot elite assassin) paid off Pontius Pilot. It was a private affair on private land (probably owned by Joseph of Arimathea) held in poor light with limited spectator viewing. For the lemgth of time Jesus was susposedly on the cross, it would have been impossible for him to die without breaking his legs and if his legs were broken he would have asfixiated instantly.

      Was he given vinegar or a neurotoxin? The Esscenes (the cutting edge healers of the time) were renowned for their white togas. They could have been described as “looking like angels”. They, one would suspect, would have the antidote for a neurotoxin and the ability to revive a bodily stress individual. Jesus older brother (Saint) James (the Just) tells the dimmest amoungst us that his mother Mary was no “physical” virgin.

      Before you parade old twits in silly hats issuing Islamic “words of wisdom”, you really need to go study faro0485. There are some very informed readers at this place who will shred any issued nonesense.

      Classic cherry picking. People die. People die in accidents. It’s the “clinton body count” all over again.

      Which murders? The list above are mostly scientists who have died of accidents and suicide.

    • O. Ryan Faust

      Two points:
      1. The Clinton body count was quite telling.
      2. Snopes has been documented to be a left-wing operation.

    • faro0485

      @MindMe do genes mutate accidentally?

    • terry the censor

      I repeat: there is no point to this article. There is no analysis suggesting the deaths are connected in any way. Only the leadline makes a claim.
      This is pure mindless innuendo.

      @O. Ryan Faust

      “2. Snopes has been documented to be a left-wing operation.”

      A silly ad hominem fallacy. “Einstein had communist sympathies therefore we can’t believe Relativity.” Facts and arguments stand on their own. You can’t dismiss them simply because you don’t like the person making the argument.

      @faro0485

      “do genes mutate accidentally?”

      Yes they do. What’s your point?

    • faro0485

      MindMe … there’s no such thing as accidental.

      (Take all the space you want explaining your theory.)

    • faro0485

      Are you saying there’s such a thing as accident?

      @faro0485
      “MindMe … there’s no such thing as accidental.”

      Forgive me if I don’t take your word for it. Depends on your definition of accident. I would define an accidental death as:

      “Death resulting from an accident from an unusual event that was unanticipated by everyone involved.”

      I don’t expect to be killed driving in a safe manner to work. I would expect to be killed doing 100 mph in a 30 zone.

      A trail lawyer might say someone is to blame ultimately. But that’s not really the point of the article. I might be wrong, but it means to suggest these deaths are related and planned by a small group of people.

      Not all the deaths are accidental. Some are suicide. Some are heart conditions.

    • faro0485

      @mindme

      No there is no certainty that you would be killed doing 100mph in a 30mph zone. There might be a higher risks since we have come to believe that speeding can kill.

      But you can check the law, and see if you could get around it. But as far as common law goes, that’s disturbing the peace.

      You’re digressing with that.

      Well as far as it is claimed, genetic mutations are believed to be of three kinds, positive, negative and neutral.

      In money, you could have gain loss and exchange. I have heard that genes suffer negative mutations due to radiation and such.

      But positive mutations… well these are codes, for a programmer, he could add code, or cause a fault, or just add something for later.

      But when someone tells you it’s random… they’re just saying they don’t know. But when someone like Richard Dawkins says it’s a blind watch maker… he’s almost suggesting it’s some force that has no knowledge. How deistic of him.

      Knowing about quantum physics of genetic material is key. Also learning about Electromagnetic theories of consciousness is very much important.

      Quran 4:78-79 does explain the point.
      http://quran.com/4/78-79

      No death is accidental.

    • MindMe

      @faro0485

      I’m not suggesting I will certainly die going 100 mph in a 30 zone. What I’m suggesting is we are not surprised by deaths resulting from reckless behavior. We would not term it an accidental death. We would term it death by misadventure. We would term a man, say, having an undetected brain aneurism and causing a car crash an accidental death. Yes, the aneurism caused the accident. Yes, maybe the aneurism was caused by smoking. Yes, maybe he took up smoking because he was stressed out.

      But that’s not really the point I’m trying to make about the article. As I note, the article simply cherry picks a small number of scientists who die by year due to wholly unrelated causes: accident, health problems, suicide, murder, etc. Other than the author has cherry picked scientists who died that year, there’s nothing to suggest they were assassinated.

      A mutation is a mutation. A positive mutation can be negative if environmental factors suddenly change. Just because a certain mutation conveys a survival advantage doesn’t imply it requires intelligence or it’s according to a plan. We both have a hand in cards. We both get a king. The king in my card environment does nothing for my hand. The king in your card environment gives you three of a kind. We both got it at random. Maybe a god wants you to win at poker but the favorable hand is just as easily explained by the random assortment of the cards. You’ll have to demonstrate a god exists and cares about your luck in poker to convince me we need to violate Occam’s Razor and add a new entity to this scenario.

      “But when someone tells you it’s random… they’re just saying they don’t know.”

      No. What they’re saying is the distribution of outcomes is no different from a mathematical description of randomness. It matches a chi square test.

      “Quran 4:78-79″

      Yeah that’s cool ‘n’ all but as I noted above, you’ll have to demonstrate the existence of this god entity before you try to use it as a casual agent. Sorry if I don’t take your word for it.

      Ask any one who’s been 100mph down a road (I didn’t say a thing)… they’ll tell you, it’s not speed that kills. It’s God who takes life.

      No… you neither I know what were the exact penny for penny causes. But everything is predestined by God.

      Well if his aneurism was caused by smoking… and by stress… (who starts smoking for stress relief?) then it is God giving him what he deserved for the evils he did.

      No the above scientists are the notable cases in the news. Would you like to give us some scientists other than this to prove your point “these were all accidents, capish, you don’t say nada to no one, gottit? Otherwise our bois will make you look like an accident with da fishiss”

      I err on the side of consensus science. I’ve tasted enough religious chicken to know what level of evidence I demand before I decide they’ve got the ringer on truth. You’re offering none other than your own authority.

      “Still, trying to claim that there is even one bit of randomness is purely based upon ignorance. ”

      I’ve offered you a classic example from math and you’ve simply hand waved it away. Maybe you could enlighten us why this example doesn’t demonstrate a concept of randomness?

      “The heavens and the earth, are owned by God.”

      You keep claiming there’s this god entity and expect me to take your word for it. I’m sure it gives you the warm fuzzies but I don’t invoke an entity with no evidence for it to explain something.

      “Give us at least one scientist who died from random causes. ”

      That wasn’t my argument. My argument was people on the list have died from a variety of causes that I can see no logical connection. Some from accidents (as I’ve defined). Some from disease. Some from misadventure. Some from murder. Some from an unknown cause (if we are to take the list maker’s word for it, and I don’t). And so on. Pretty much anyway a human can die, the list maker has a scientist who has died from it. The list maker seems to be putting forward a hypothesis that someone is assassinating scientists (all in a variety of unconnected fields). Other than simply giving us a seemingly random list of people who do science in some capacity and have died in some way, there’s nothing to suggest a pattern of assassination.

    • faro0485

      You follow the masses?
      No you haven’t tasted any quran, not a drop. Tell me, why do you invoke the term “authority”… have you accepted the line “government knows best”?

      No you gave a reference to methodology in find mathematical models. Six paces on a board, are not random paces just because you decided to roll a dice. They are six exact paces. Not roll a dice, and you get 6 and instead randomly move 5.

      I’ll give you a better example. Guy drives down a road at 100mph, a car coming the other way at 30 miles across a road… they both hit.

      Random? Absolutely not, both points of view had the knowledge of where they were. We call it random because both parties did not have the information of the other. But we can refer to electromagnetic theories of conciousness, and note that stretching from between both individuals… there is a field. It’s at that where the information is encompassing.

      “You keep claiming there’s this god entity…”

      Actually you’re claiming you have no knowledge of God. Just because you’re temporal lobe insensitive, doesn’t mean you have no knowledge, it’s just that even you choose to hide it from yourself. You choose to negate what little suppositions are made to you.

      How do you know? See my comment above.

      “Tell me, why do you invoke the term “authority”…”

      Because you keep simply invoking the need for a god entity to explain that which is adequately explained by materialist means. You’ve yet to demonstrate the reality of that entity.

      “No you gave a reference to methodology in find mathematical models. Six paces on a board, are not random paces just because you decided to roll a dice. They are six exact paces. Not roll a dice, and you get 6 and instead randomly move 5.”

      I gave you an example of what I mean by randomness. You’re still not getting to why that’s not random. Anyway, I’m not talking events that are purely random. I’m talking about accidents and I’ve clearly defined what I mean by that term.

      “Actually you’re claiming you have no knowledge of God.”

      I have knowledge of what people think god is. I have no evidence that god exists in reality.

    • faro0485

      @mindme

      Because people who have, either wholly accept it… or attack it fully. There is no middle ground between those who have tasted it.

      Interesting, you say that the consensus of scientists are your “authority” ie Gods. Why are they your gods? Shouldn’t they be considered fallible? Do you take your authority as a group of individuals who have no knowledge other than what they each specialize in?

      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consensus_decision-making#Criticism

      Does the rule of consensus work for democracies? You say yes? Based on what? Technological advancement? But dear sir, how can technological advancement be a sign of progress upon humanity when we saw people like the Nazis be far superior than most when it came to developing technology?

      Rather is it curious that it’s more beneficial to them that you worship their scientists and what not, than you worshipping God?

      God who commands the following:

      “I gave you an example of what I mean by randomness. You’re still not getting to why that’s not random.”

      It’s not what you define as accident or random. But let’s refer to the etymology of random:

      “having no definite aim or purpose,” 1650s, from at random (1560s), “at great speed” (thus, “carelessly, haphazardly”), alteration of M.E. randon “impetuosity, speed” (c.1300), from O.Fr. randon “rush, disorder, force, impetuosity,” from randir “to run fast,” from Frankish *rant “a running,” from P.Gmc. *randa (cf. O.H.G. rennen “to run,” O.E. rinnan “to flow, to run”).

      I’ll explain. When a person runs at great speed… he will flash by you. Because your eyes can only pick up a few number of frames. Loss of information while an event is taking place, that’s what the word means.

      That term, random is from the Germanic, while accident is from the latin.

      accident – late 14c., “an occurrence, incident, event,” from O.Fr. accident (12c.), from L. accidentem (nom. accidens), prp. of accidere “happen, fall out, fall upon,” from ad- “to” (see ad-) + cadere “fall” (see case (1)). Meaning grew from “something that happens, an event,” to “something that happens by chance,” then “mishap.” Meaning “unplanned child” is attested by 1932.

      Let me explain, the ad- prefix tells us about something to happen in the future. The -ent suffix signifies action. Why future befalling/case action? Because we do not see the innitial that leads to to the case, if we did it would be ex-case-ent.

      I’ll give you an example. Someone throws a ball in sky randomly. The effect of that ball will be that it will land. But we cannot see the ad-fact, or in that scenario the ad-case. But when we see that the ball will just about potentially land on someone’s head, there’s the affect of our action. We say “it was an accident” past tense, though the knowledge of an accident happening is in that instant we realize that that happened as a result of not having information. But if someone just saw a case, and there was no known cause, we term it as accident. We also term it as accident because the parties involved did not know the effect, but might have known the affect or at least come to know the affect.

      In human society, we desire to find out why something happened… because we can be egotistical, we like putting the blame on other than us. So thank God for Quran 4:78-79

      That is what science is. Where a person themselves desires to find out about things, not just technology or earth sciences, but human case events sciences.

      To believe that there is something out there that we cannot know, for a scientist… that’s not science. Why not know, or we ourselves might not be able to know certain things. But the potential of making baby steps is that one day we’ll grow up and be able to run and complete several thousand miles. But someone who says that they cannot do that, is forgetting that the guy who runs, did not achieve that randomly.

      Your example of randomness, only confers to humans who have no knowledge. Where as to God, God is closer to you than you are to your jugular vein. Question, where are you?

      You don’t have knowledge of God. Is it an accident that others worship God?

      No? Only some things are accidents? Why? Because we lack knowledge of how they occurred.

      Do we leave it at that?

      People have temporal lobe evidence. Are you saying that you do not have a sensitive temporal lobe? Then let me push you and say that you’d be correct to state that your temporal lobes are insensitive.

      That video by Vilayanur Ramachandran, explains how some can see, while you cannot see. Or at least see and associate feels or other understanding. The example given at the end with the mirror explains that there is something you did in your life which caused your thinking to be unlike the others here.

      Verifying the causes of their deaths, is a case by case thing. But accepting that each of them are suspicious or are a conspiracy (remember, there’s no such thing as theory in criminal conspiracy)… now that’s something that requires a certain sort of thought process.

      You have not gotten an answer you say? No one is going to give you the answer, you have to work out the problem on your own.

      ||Interesting, you say that the consensus of scientists are your “authority” ie Gods.||

      I didn’t say that at all. I said I err on the side of consensus science. Science recognizes there is no absolute truth, our knowledge will always be tentative and in need of revision as new evidence comes forward. Because we live in a world of imperfect knowledge, and because I cannot personally test the safety of every bridge I must cross, every plane I get on, everything I ingest, as an expedient it is better to err on the side of scientific consensus.

      ||http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consensus_decision-making#Criticism||

      You’re conflating political consensus decision making with scientific consensus. The status quo, for example, in science is being revised constantly.

      ||But dear sir, how can technological advancement be a sign of progress upon humanity when we saw people like the Nazis be far superior than most when it came to developing technology?||

      Humans will always use the tools around them imperfectly. You should probably turn off your computer right now if you feel this way. You can just as easily use your computer for good or evil. Your argument is a non sequitor.

      Again, you totally sidestep both my definition of accident and randomness. Return to what I’ve said and argue against that.

      ||To believe that there is something out there that we cannot know, for a scientist… that’s not science. ||

      Dr Persinger’s “god hat” is cool ‘n’ all but as far as I know he’d never tried it with a placebo control. If you give people water and tell them it’s vodka, some people will claim to be drunk. What’s your point?

      ||Verifying the causes of their deaths, is a case by case thing. But accepting that each of them are suspicious or are a conspiracy (remember, there’s no such thing as theory in criminal conspiracy)… now that’s something that requires a certain sort of thought process.||

      It seems that in some cases, non-sequitor can be confused with that disease of the amygdala.

      Not only that but you’re saying “scientific consensus”, when there is no such thing other than the consensus of scientists. That is the political part.

      It’s certain that what you’re missing is also an active amygdala as well as temporal lobes.

      For example, using a tool, is not the same thing as relying upon a tool. There are stages between use, and addiction ie need. There is also a difference with that which we need. For example, a person using their pc for checking business emails is not the same thing as someone at work checking porn videos. What’s the difference, one is professional the other is not.

      It’s that point which we’re lacking here, ie a professional look at these deaths.

      There’s is revision in science procedure, but it’s from religion we learn procedures, where we learn procedures of gaining knowledge. Procedures of ethics. The finalization of religion, islam, that is where we find the best procedures.

      Question, if science recognizes no truth… then where did the methodology for science come from? Science has not changed in the last 1400 years. Cars might look different from 100 years back, but most of it is still based upon the combustion engine, or even the electric motor.

      I haven’t side stepped the argument of accident and random. I’ve expanded it. But your argument to you is an illusion being made a reality to you, only because you do not (or cannot) comprehend God. Maybe this will God willing help you: http://everythingforever.com/st_math.htm

      “To believe that there is something out there that we cannot know, for a scientist… that’s not science.”

      I hope none states such a thing, but there have been those who have said we have entered into the final accomplishments of human and knowledge. I cannot recall the individuals names who have said that, but the question wouldn’t have been asked by yourself: http://seefurtherfestival.org/events/view/do-we-know-everything-yet

      Dr Persinger’s research. He’s not a fly by guy with a magical hat. But actually he insists that there were placebo controls. And he also insisted that the Swedish team failed to properly replicate.

      Evidence? This is a matter for detectives. If someone gave you money, would you then search for evidence? For money? No?

      If you cannot recall who thinks this way, they’re clearly not thought leaders or represent how the vast majority of scientists think. I’m sure there are a handful of scientists who believe in scientism but they are in the minority. Don’t make up a consensus where you can’t even begin to point to chief actors.

      No. I see a handful of cherry picked names, no connection, and claim without evidence. The null hypothesis is there’s no connection. It’s not my job to prove the null hypothesis. It’s the job of the person making the claim to offer compelling evidence. Talk about god hats and hand waving references to koran passages don’t really amount to evidence.

      But ultimately, you might want to have a second look at that research by Dr Persinger. Because it doesn’t sound like you err on the side of “scientific consensus”, but rather on the side of those criticising research. Your mention of Karl Popper is evidence towards that.

      “can’t articulate it” – Dr Persinger’s response to the Swedish team was clear enough.

      ||you’ll know your people.||

      Sorry, I’m not even going to guess what you’re implying.

      ||And here’s me thinking that Dawkins was a neo-darwinian propaganda mouth piece. http://revelation4-11.blogspot.com/2010/07/scientific-track-record-of-richard.html||

      I’m not sure what you’re implying. Dawkins is a scientist. He’s published a number of peer reviewed papers. He’s demonstrated the ability you seem to think he lacks.

      ||”can’t articulate it” – Dr Persinger’s response to the Swedish team was clear enough.||

      And yet you still can’t articulate it.

      MindMe,

      turn the statement into a question. “My people”, you have the option who, what, when, how and why to that with the addition suitable term for grammar.

      There’s no harm in attempting guessing.

      Dawkins, I’ve read one or two of his books, and I know that he’s mostly a science commentator, or rather a pro-atheism pro-dawkin evolutionism science commentator. That’s his speciality. He doesn’t use a scientific method in commentating. And that link suggested that the majority of his work is commentary.

      Oh I do apologize, you asked for Dr Persinger’s response. And no it’s not can’t, it was “wont”, as I was limited on time.

      Basically the Swedish team led by Granqvist decided to focus only on the sensed presence part of the experiment, though they originally intended to work with PET readings as was in the case in Persinger’s test. One of the biggest issues with even the sensed presence test was that the swedish team used a computer system with a very high frequency that would have resulted in much more noise than what Persinger used. Not only that but Granqvist’s team told their subjects that the test was about experiencing feelings. Where as Persinger only told them that they were going to go through a relaxation experiment, Persinger’s test was double blind including the system being tested on the subjects while turned off and on. The only one I know who knew what the test was about was Dawkins. But Dawkin’s was told “this’ll make you feel things”, and after he went through it he was disappointed that he didn’t feel anything but a twitch in is leg and some weighty breathing. I wonder, do stunned animals suffer weighty breathing while they twitch their legs?

      Ultimately there’s more about that minor point here: http://www.innerworlds.50megs.com/The_God_Helmet_Debate.htm

      “Although Granqvist told the media that he found no results attributable to the stimulation, his published paper actually says that the fields could be working, through an interaction with the subject’s suggestibility.”

    • MindMe

      The swedish team disagrees with his response that his trials were properly blinded.

      Dawkins cut his teeth doing good science. He has certainly changed roles as an educator but so what? The only point I was trying to make is your unfounded, undocumented claim Dawkins (and other atheists) can’t see connections. Scientists and good educators (people who have to explain things and show, you know, connections) have jobs where they have to make connections or they fail. Dawkins is rather a success. You’re simply inventing some phenomenon out of whole cloth to support your argument. You’ve been called on it (like your bizarre claim science hadn’t changed in thousands of years until I reminded you of Popper). Now you’re trying to shift the goal post and claim “well, Dawkins hasn’t worked much as a real scientist in several years.”

      Your arguments are increasingly silly as they are unfounded and lacking basic facts to support them.

    • faro0485

      That Swedish team was bunk. Dawkins doesn’t do science, he parades atheistic claims.
      http://www.stateofnature.org/scientistOrPropagandist.html

      But you trying to link claim “scientists and only good educators = atheists (because we all know that the non-scientists and bad educators = everyone else)” … isn’t that a little egotistical? Will you be willing to hold the mess of the society that these atheistic scientists are leading your country towards? No? You’re going to claim that it was religion? Isn’t that what atheists do all the time, claim the good was from their work, and the bad the cause of someone else. Quran 4:78-79 speaks of that.

      No no, these jobs that they do, are only for the sole purpose of that specific task. It’s not about making connections.

      The success rate of a person is not a measure of their scientific quotient.

      Dawkins is only a neo-darwinian propagandist. If any atheist is a scientist, I’ll eat my invisible hat.

      No, I still stand by my words that science has not changed since the Quran. Your reference to Popper was dismissed, since Quran already teaches falsification… but it directs it to it’s critics, as opposed to those who want to agree to it.

    • MindMe

      “That Swedish team was bunk.”

      In your opinion.

      “Dawkins doesn’t do science, he parades atheistic claims. ”

      Manifestly wrong, as demonstrated by his publication record. Yes, he’s moved on to being a science educator and a resource for those who seek to impose religion on science. But so what? You’ve stuck with one career for your whole life?

      “But you trying to link claim “scientists and only good educators = atheists (because we all know that the non-scientists and bad educators = everyone else)” … isn’t that a little egotistical?”

      A silly strawman. I claimed no such thing. Read above to see what I was claiming. I think I repeated it twice already. Not sure if rehearsing it a third time will do any good.

      “‘Your reference to Popper was dismissed, since Quran already teaches falsification… but it directs it to it’s critics, as opposed to those who want to agree to it.”

      In your opinion that bit of religious poetry is speaking about science. It does not read that way to me at all. You can hammer the bible, nostrodamus, etc. to mean anything you want. Fallacy: cherry picking. Could you direct me to islamic scientists who were using that passage as justification for falsification pre-Popper? Religious people have a wonderful track record of taking the work of real scientists and then running back to their religious texts and going “oh look this passage out of context totally proves my invisible sky god knew about this!”

      Anyway, I’m not here to argue your whole faith in an invisible sky god is irrational. I’m simply here to argue there’s zero evidence to connect these deaths to one central actor. Yeah maybe your invisible sky god has a hand in it, but there’s no evidence.

    • faro0485

      Incorrect, your aware of the implications of said research… but in the meanwhile most atheists were harping on about how it was the greatist proof for them. But when they realize they run to find that swedish team. Many before you have done that already. I’m glad that the truth is scary because terror does come from God.

      Today Dawkins is known for, not no research, but propaganda. I know many scientists are nazi like, especially biologists. Thats why they live, while these are assasinated by suicide note.

      Let me remind you, you equated making connections is part of scientists and good educators. That is true. But to claim Dawkins is that, that’s the BS you gave to which I paraphrased the suggestion you created. Dawkins makes no connections other than how to beguile the people. Is he a fool or we greater fools to accept his nonsense???

      I already did direct you, refer to the history of the scientific method, and seriously have a miniscule plus one of knowledge of Islam.

      You can cry fallcy all day, but from God all things came, to God must it all return.

      What a joke, atheisming religious people appropriated science, when it actually was them.

      Remember your terminology of invisible itself provdes proof to you being temporal lobe insensetive. Bow down to God, so that God may come to you.

    • MindMe

      “Incorrect, your aware of the implications of said research…”

      Your opinion. Not mine. We can go back and forth like this all day.

      “but in the meanwhile most atheists were harping on about how it was the greatist proof for them.”

      No. If true, it is compelling evidence for the material basis for consciousness. But I’d like to see a good well controlled study. The rest of your claim is a straw man.

      “Today Dawkins is known for, not no research, but propaganda.”

      In your opinion. Not mine. Dawkins is known for publishing highly rational looks at religion and its effect on society. Again, he’s making these connections in your singular opinion atheist are incapable of making. Do you base any of your beliefs on rational grounds or is it all just opinion and confirmation bias with you?

      “I know many scientists are nazi like, especially biologists. ”

      Wow. I bet they’re glad to know you back, calling them Nazi like. Could you define what makes a scientist “nazi like” and then supply some names (besides actual nazi scientists) and why they meet that definition?

      “Thats why they live, while these are assasinated by suicide note.”

      That makes zero sense.

      “I already did direct you, refer to the history of the scientific method, and seriously have a miniscule plus one of knowledge of Islam.”

      Again, you avoid the direct evidence I asked for. You claimed Popper’s concept of falsification was already known to Islamic science. You supplied, laughably, a passage from the koran that had nothing to do with science. You simply cherry picked a single passage. Well, maybe this passage inspired islamic science so I asked you to provide evidence that islamic scientists spoke of falsification as a part of the scientific method. You can offer none. I submit your passage has nothing to do with science and it’s merely cherry picking a vague quote. Silly.

      “Remember your terminology of invisible itself provdes proof to you being temporal lobe insensetive. Bow down to God, so that God may come to you.”

      I don’t bow to santa claus, tooth fairies, or invisible sky gods. You might. That’s your choice. I prefer to live in the real world.

    • faro0485

      MindMe, by insisting that such a thing is my opinion, your attempting to make it foreign and not considering the thought of it actually emanating from you. Your negating any possibility in attempt to protect your position.

      As for claiming that “if” it was true than even then your belief of a material reality would be proven true… even that is your defense mechanism protecting avenues for if in case down the line.

      When I referred you to the rebuttal and review of both tests, it was clear that the Swedish team failed to do any proper controls where as Persinger maintained adequate controls (double blind).

      You ignored this for some strange reason, what could that have been?

      How do you explain the results that atheists are cut off from feeling spiritualism? And not only that, we learn in scripture that God cuts them off because of their critical questioning nature against God’s signs/verses.

      Dawkins has no qualification to question religion or even society. Not to mention that his studies are very shallow when it comes to religion.

      So it is obvious he will live a very very long life with the desire to accidentally kill himself.

      His followers are always committing biases, and he himself is commits manifold biases.

      You speak of confirmation, wouldn’t you prefer to avoid committing that and attempt to consolidate between your own self and information you receive?

      As for Nazi scientists, I refer you to anyone who is in favor of depopulation.

      Sorry what does Karl Popper have to do with science? Exactly, he was a philosopher. So taking something that was already philosophized, and reversing it to something deformed… that is unacceptable, what the quran teaches is that if there are critics against it, then such and such are methods they can attempt to prove it wrong. It’s an option clause. But those already obeying the quran, if they didn’t see that then they would have gone after 49:6.
      Let me make it clear to you, I did not write “falsification was already known to Islamic science”, I said it was already given as an example from God to critics before mankind. But seriously,

      Question, why is modern methodology split into Popper vs Feyerabend?

      I note that Feyerabend explains that falsification renders past theories as Godly.

      So why do you cherry pick methodologies while putting words into my mouth as well as ignoring philosophy?

      http://coraifeartaigh.files.wordpress.com/2008/02/shrn788h.jpg?

      You bow down to a philosopher…

      How about you bow before God? ie where they all and even Hitchens returned to.

      And then you can pray for knowledge.

    • MindMe

      “MindMe, by insisting that such a thing is my opinion, your attempting to make it foreign and not considering the thought of it actually emanating from you. Your negating any possibility in attempt to protect your position. ”

      No. Wrong again. I’m pointing out areas you need to supply fact.

      “When I referred you to the rebuttal and review of both tests, it was clear that the Swedish team failed to do any proper controls where as Persinger maintained adequate controls (double blind).”

      Again, the Swedish team disagrees.

      “Dawkins has no qualification to question religion or even society.”

      In your opinion. He’s an educator, a biologist, has published numerous well received books on religion, and was the University of Oxford’s Professor for Public Understanding. That seems to me to make him more qualified. But that’s my opinion.

      “Not to mention that his studies are very shallow when it comes to religion. ”

      For example?

      “Sorry what does Karl Popper have to do with science? Exactly, he was a philosopher.”

      Wow because the philosophy of science has nothing at all to do with science and how the methodology should be changed. Stunning you should even have to ask that.

      And still you return with silly opinion and hand waving claims and don’t back what should be a simple claim. Let me repeat the challenge. This is your last chance to answer or else it will be obvious you’re wrong.

      You claimed Popper’s concept of falsification was already known to Islamic science. You supplied, laughably, a passage from the koran that had nothing to do with science.

I submit your passage has nothing to do with science and it’s merely cherry picking a vague quote. Silly.

      “How about you bow before God?”

      Your god seems to me like a child’s belief in santa and a tooth fairy. I don’t bow before imaginary friends. You’re free to, in my opinion, waste your time.

    • faro0485

      The Swedish team disagrees??? Who cares about them?? I don’t care for bumbling fumbling clowns, why should you?

      http://www.innerworlds.50megs.com/The_God_Helmet_Debate.htm

      “the Simonyi Professorship of the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University” – sorry you were you saying something about Oxford putting him there? No no, a business man financed that position for Dawkins.

      Dawkins mighe studied Animal behavior… but he has no qualification in regards to religion, sociology or even languages. He is nothing but a preacher who got to high places with big money.

      He’s like a modern Ayn Rand, books full of drivel, but his fans love him. Where as the above dead are dismissed.

      Sorry did I say studies? My mistake, I meant his books are very shallow when they mention religion. I’m not going to mention the examples because this post is not about Dawkins, but the scientists who die suddenly vs one who rises with business money.

      I may read into words, but you are putting words into my words. Never did I say “philosophy of science has nothing at all to do with science”, I made it clear that Popper was not a scientist, but a philosopher. You want to refer to philosophy? Then don’t ignore the Quran. Don’t ignore God’s philosophy. Especially as it was drilled into the subconscious of those arabs who developed a civilization.

      I never cherry picked any passages. I never even quoted a passage, are you following a script? That “if a believer says this you reply xyz”, maybe you are?

      Listen, forget the script, be generous to yoursel, and use your own mind. Stop asking for things that someone told you that you have to ask. Come to your own conclusions based upon what is available at hand. I specifically noted Feyerabend being in opposition to Popper while he himself was the student of Popper.

      You do know that in reality, you already do submit to God. Wouldn’t you prefer to be aware?

    • MindMe

      ||The Swedish team disagrees??? Who cares about them?? I don’t care for bumbling fumbling clowns, why should you?||

      I care about the debate. Ultimately, it matters little. If he is correct, then a “god center” to the brain is well in keeping with an evolutionary perspective. Its a survival benefit to make these false positive errors.

      “Dawkins mighe studied Animal behavior… but he has no qualification in regards to religion, sociology or even languages.”

      What qualifies one to argue about the intersection of science and religion?

      “I meant his books are very shallow when they mention religion.”

      In your opinion.

      “I may read into words, but you are putting words into my words. Never did I say “philosophy of science has nothing at all to do with science”, I made it clear that Popper was not a scientist, but a philosopher. ”

      Dude. Popper is considered one of the greatest philosophers of science. You really don’t even know what you’re arguing about.

      http://plato.stanford.edu/archives/sum2009/entries/popper/

      “Then don’t ignore the Quran. Don’t ignore God’s philosophy. ”

      God’s philosophy? How do I know it’s god’s philosophy. Some dude wrote it. So what? It’s his philosophy about god. Not a good one, in my opinion.

      MindMe,

      you care about debate? We’re not supposed to be debating, what’s with this war path? It’s supposed to be a dialogue.

      http://www.nald.ca/library/learning/study/scdvd.htm

      This is where Karl Popper came in and destroyed the minds of people. Always at war with one another.

      http://ngin.tripod.com/pb.htm

      Quran 17:53 translation
      And tell My slaves to say that which is best. Indeed, Satan induces discord among them. Indeed Satan is ever, to mankind, a clear enemy.

      And no, we are not slaves of “some dude” named Muhammad (may God have peace upon him).

      Oh and since you claimed he messenger was a liar, you have to prove that. Otherwise retract since such a claim would lead us down to another road diverging from this article.

      But isn’t that what you’re saying? These people have gut feeling that there is something not quite right here. But you want to tell me “unless some official says something, I’m not going to believe anything”. What kind of behaviour is that? Isn’t that the government/officials creating division between you and your people?

      I believe those qualified to rank the greatest of history, disagree with the claim of Karl Popper being anything as so: http://www.adherents.com/adh_influ.html

      Karl Popper… it seems to me was someone that the government today would love to praise. Tell me, who falsifies the falsifiers?

      You have falsified the need to research the above, rather you would be on the potential side of those who would be called up for suspicion… I can understand that you desire to defend an accused because they have more than what the other guy has, but the public will have an opinion about that.
