And if you can't see the immense contribution of Carl Sagan to the application of the scientific method to society then you need to read more science yourself. Sagan brought astronomy into America's homes and taught millions of people that evidence is an amazing tool we can use to circumvent these lousy brains of ours.

Feb 28, 2011 - "I give up on trying to talk to people on message boards or forums, it gets really tiring trying to explain every little thing to stupid people. I feel sorry for public school teachers having to deal with morons on a daily bases." 1) You have a "comma splice" between "forums" and "it". 2) It's "basis" not "bases". 3) I've got too much time on my hands.

Apr 4, 2011 - @MrXAVIERDB LOL. You're one of those guys huh? You have logic, facts and science? Thats what Shermer is all about. Are you pissed because intelligent people don't believe in your woo bull shit?

theUSER101 Says:

Apr 5, 2011 - @MrXAVIERDB Your point of view is irrational by definition. Lets start living in reality.

atheistkyo Says:

Apr 10, 2011 - Shermer has grown up since this interview. It almost sounds like he is too afraid to critisize religion. He's much more outspoken and direct now.

cmpresents Says:

Apr 24, 2011 - Even if there is no God, this guy shemer is full of shit. He's just another capitalist who found a niche.

bleesev2 Says:

May 5, 2011 - where does he give you the idea that he is a strong capitalist? Whats wrong with capitalism? what the do you mean niche?

bleesev2 Says:

May 5, 2011 - @MrXAVIERDB I respect Freedom of speech but you have to respect other peoples freedom of speech as well. So for saying that i am simply going to say, "Fuck You" Because if you even took to time to try and disprove your own claim, you would be done spreading that nonsense months ago.

bleesev2 Says:

May 6, 2011 - @MrXAVIERDB I don't need to respect your opinion, i can respect Freedom of Speech, and you have all the right to say what i said, no matter how illegible it actually was. Micheal Shermer does not take in an active hobby of smoking pot, and he is not Jewish (he is atheist), Micheal Shermer has many friends, (and customers) so, idk what your talking about

bleesev2 Says:

May 6, 2011 - @MrXAVIERDB I shall :D

ZenArrow Says:

Jul 29, 2011 - Two types of sceptics... Open Minded and Close Minded. One is open to new data and to seek the truth. The other has their mind made up already and won't take any new data. A true open minded sceptic will seek truth and do research... a closed minded one will rest on others laurels and lack the understanding that a truth seeker will have. Some argue for ego... others seek the truth where ever it may lead... a closed mind does not listen, nor does it have ears to see.

ZenArrow Says:

Jul 29, 2011 - The mind set on proving is so different from the mind set on disproving. Neither can see the other angle unless they change their mind's goal to the appropriate mode. One cannot just see one angle & think they have the truth. For the mind only sees what it is focused upon looking for. One can always find fault. One can always see apparent truths which seem to back things. The bigger picture requires many angles. Talking to someone in fault finding mode is frustrating, as is often the case here.

Aug 15, 2011 - I don't know if he coined the phrase but Neil Tyson says there are no optical illusions, There are brain failures.

phlewis86 Says:

Sep 16, 2011 - I think that having hope for a better tomorrow is a good thing but it should be done without giving people false assurances. I think it is good to have a healthy amount of skepticism.

PastorIblis Says:

Oct 9, 2011 - Was JFK a Conspiracy Theorist in the speech that got him killed where he said Point blank that there is a Monolithic & Ruthless Conspiracy?Is it a Theory to quote David Rockefeller's own Memoirs where he says, "His Family has been accused of begin part of a secret Cabal interested in the destruction of the United States. and He says if that is the charge i stand GUILTY & PROUD OF IT!Are the Georgia Guidestones a Theory?With the Ten Commandments of the NEW WORLD ORDER?

Apr 10, 2012 - Gosh he has to tip toe at the end their, hopefully times are a changing, hopefully people can proudly say "Yes, to be a skeptic you should obviously be skeptical of major religions"
