Its hilarious …

A media 'personality appears. His name is Brian Cox. He presents science. I review his presentation from a sceptical scientific perspective. I detect flaws in his logic, and in some of the items he presents as fact.

I am severly criticised for making fun of someone I don't 'believe' in. After all, it is 'seen' by some here, that he is a scientist and I'm not. "Craig, you are simply jealous of him, you are driven by 'ego' ".

Absolutely zero comments about the flaws in his arguments and facts which I raise, are forthcoming.

How may IIS personalities including Joe, (but certainly not limited to Joe), are entirely manipulated by the media and its icons/deities ?

How many 'astronomers' are using 'faith' as their only guide ?

How few are using science 'filters' (knowledge, process and rational thinking), as their guide ?

Why do they not turn up in the Science Forum ?

Is it out of an irrational fear ?

And rather than putting these aside, and yielding to their own obvious, innate hunger for knowledge, they would rather blatently accuse 'students of rationality', of arrogance, and then go on to flaunt their self-imposed wounds, to gain the sympathetic popular vote ! (Reality by consensus).

Children confront these fears on a daily basis ! They are the true masters of courage !
It seems all we learn to do with age, is learn how to 'look good' and barely survive ! Is this living ?

'Try it on !' …. That is my 'world view', Brian …
'See if it fits !' is the corollary …. but whatever you do …
…. 'don't believe it !'
