some theories are so laughably stupid they need no debunking and doing so would be fruitless, considering that anyone credulous enough to believe such wackiness hasn't the sufficient capacity for reason required to even understand said rational explanations.

I have to say I'm ploughing through Par's link to the 9/11 Viewers Guide and it sounds like a pretty good rebuttal so far to me. Thing is these guys can sow alot of doubt and it sounds convincing but ultimately where's the evidence? I also saw a video that showed the building sagging inwards and causing the floors above to fall.

The big problem for me is who the hell can run around buildings like that planting explosives without anyone noticing? It just stretches credulity a bit too much for me.

I agree, westy. The root of the problem is faith. Credulity opens the floodgates to shoving all kinds of irrational nonsense in one's head. Jesus of Nazareth was just a common man, born illegitimately, preaching a decent moral code that was a big advancement compared to his contemporaries. But the Vatican is a backwards oligarchy that usually refuses to listen to reason and therefore changes at a snail's pace.

What is this, math and science answers by democracy? Now I understand why the country has ended up the way it is. I'm just using the simple principles of statistics as taught and used in the undergrad statistics courses I've been in. I guarantee that anyone of reasonable mathematical credulity would arrive at the 50-50 solution.

The fact is this: when the choice must be made, there are two doors left, and one does not know what is behind either. One is a goat, and one is a car. The chooser cannot say that the door he first chose is any more likely to be a car than the other door. There is literally no other statistical information to deduce any bias towards either one of them. Just for the record, I have to feel sorry for those of you who feel otherwise, and rather than make analogies to people who *think the world is flat* and so forth, direct you to the following URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUmVe9qnw7E

I've a couple minutes in and that secretary completely horrifies me. Yeesh what a credulous twit.

torn between a comedic value upvote and a shamefully credulous pseudoscience presented as reality downvote......I went with the upvote.

Whilst I agree that this animation is very good, "What the bleep" is very manipulative, dishonest and misleading.
The woman that runs the cult is channeling someone (Ramtha) that's been dead for 35,000 years, and lived in a mythical city (atlatis) FFS.

Here is a great expose on this crap film.
http://dir.salon.com/story/ent/feature/2004/09/16/bleep/index2.html

The only really impressive physicist in the movie had this to say after seeing what they'd done to his recording.

"I was edited in such a way as to completely suppress my actual views about the matters the movie discusses. I am, indeed, profoundly unsympathetic to attempts at linking quantum mechanics with consciousness. Moreover, I explained all that, at great length, on camera, to the producers of the film ... Had I known that I would have been so radically misrepresented in the movie, I would certainly not have agreed to be filmed."

This movie is indeed an advert for a very kooky cult (Ramtha's cult as chanelled by Judy Knight of Texas). And many of the claims it makes about quantum physics are not scientifically based, despite the psuedo-scientific bullshit they surround it with.

Sorry if this is a little strongly worded, but this kind of mass manipulation makes me angry, and the world is so god damned credulous!
