I like to post on things like this every so often to remind readers that science can be marred by, and married to, hype. I was reading through some recent posts by mathematician Peter Woit on his Not Even Wrong blog this morning and came across several items worth...

Some Non-Falsifiable Darwinian "Science" Applied to ET Life
Thanks to the Uncommon Descent blog for its post, Darwin's natural selection explains why we don't see space aliens. Here's a bit that tells you all you need to know about the scientific merit of this explanation for why we haven't found ET (and perhaps how...
Telling Lies to Deny a Creator
That's not exactly the title of this interesting post that popped up today on Uncommon Descent, but those are the implications. Here's a portion that will give you the gist and trajectory: Some years ago I read a book called "Lying for God". It was a systematic...
Scientific Proof for Parallel Universes
Pretty cool article on a recent experiment at Cal-Santa Barbara. Obvious implications for what we talk about here. Editor's note: broken link removed; see here, instead: https://www.foxnews.com/science/freaky-physics-proves-parallel-universes-exist
The Scoop on Junk DNA
No, it's not alien DNA. What a shocker. Ancient Astronaut fundamentalists love to tout "junk DNA" in humans like it's this impenetrable mystery because it's alien in origin. No, it's not. Read about the work being done in this regard here.
Science and Religion
We often get into the science vs. religion issue when talking about extraterrestrials and religion. Check out this written and video interview with Alister McGrath, who described himself as (formerly) a "rottweiler sort of atheist." McGrath has PhDs in both the...
Remember Gravity Modification and Rotation with Superconductors for UFO Propulsion in The Facade?
Watch this:
Distinguished Editor of Lancet Medical Journal: Much of Peer-Reviewed Content is Bogus
This pronouncement will no doubt cause a firestorm. Here's the pull quote: “The case against science is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue. Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny effects, invalid...
Science News Anticipated in The Facade and The Portent
This news item if course isn't the only such element in either of my novels that have made it to public discourse after publication. I've blogged a number of them before. Just thought readers would enjoy this: The First Demonstration Of Self-Propelled Nanobots In A...
Boeing Acknowledges Anti-Gravity Project – Right out of The Facade
Nick Cook, long time writer for the prestigious Jane's Defense Weekly and author of the book, The Hunt for Zero Point, has written a worthwhile essay on aerospace giant Boeing's recent admission it is working on anti-gravity. The piece begins: Boeing, the world’s...
100 Year Starship: DARPA Funding Warp Drive Propulsion Project
Popular Science recently published an article of interest to fans of UFO inquiry (and of course, The Facade). Although it's dated April 1, it's an article about a real event and real project. Here's the opening paragraph of the PopSci piece: Last September, a few...
Another Scientist Expresses Skepticism Over Cardinal Doctrine of All ET Religions
Astrophysicist John Gribbon's new book Alone in the Universe: Why Our Planet Is Unique was recently reviewed in the Wall Street Journal. The reviewer refers to the book as "grimly plausible" and notes that Gribbon has a firm grasp on something obvious to all those who...
Dueling Turin Shroud Studies
Yesterday on Dec 19, an Italian scientific team published the results of a study that they believe demonstrates the authenticity of the Turin Shroud. The UK Telegraph reports that the team "conducted a series of advanced experiments which, they claim, show that the...
A Blow to Inter-Dimensional ETs?
I'm not sure if the death of the multi-verse theory described in this obituary is correct, or if correct, whether that kills off the possibility of any other universe (shy of all the layers of the multi-verse). I'm also not convinced that "other universe" is an...
More Journalistic Incompetence in Reporting on "ET DNA"
You may have heard about the recent NASA news conference. Apparently the people at the Examiner couldn't process the simple centerpiece of the new event. The Examiner is an online twaddle rag akin to the Weekly World News. Here's the Examiner's headline: DNA,...
