Yes at the time I thought it was somewhat fantastical that I was holding in my arms someone who was going to have to have something “done” about me in the future.

Lightning – seems mundane because anyplace that gets thunder storms will get lightning and it’s hardly a rarity. However, viewed close up or with a high speed camera it’s amazing. The strange effects it can have on occasion are amazing as well. Also, the less understood jets and sprites are quite interesting.

Solar Eclipses

The astonishing ability of a bloodhound to pick up a few molecules of scent (this is the kind of thing I would not believe could be true if it were not so well documented)

Hydrothermal jets

The fact that there are organisms which colonize hydrothermal jets, highly acidic and hot pools of water near geysers and other extreme environments. Apparently these are just local organisms that managed to adapt to these environments. Some actually will die if you take them out of these environments and bring them to what we’d consider to be more mild.

Finally, the unexplained. It always goes to show that there is more to learn and discover. I don’t mean paranormal, but things that science is still not sure of:

Why do the magnetic poles periodically reverse?
What is the nature of dark matter?
What is the nature of dark energy? Does dark energy even exist or is it an illusion caused by our being situated in a region of the universe that is less dense than its surroundings?
Exactly what factors lead to climate events like the Little Ice Age and Mideavele Warm Period? Is it entirely solar variations?
What caused a number of strange sounds picked up by cold war acoustic submarine monitoring systems?
What produces cosmic rays?
What exactly caused the Tunguska incident? (meteor, comet and of what nature)
What produce jets and sprites?

What is so depressing to me is that science have revealed that the universe is full of the most amazing things that are real, yet there is a segment of the population that will reject science to believe in this dren.

Indeed. A woo-woo once tried to challenge me by saying “What a narrow and small life you must have to be requiring evidence for everything”.

I immediately turned that around saying that I’m quite content with all the real wonders of real life. So much in fact I have no need to fill it with imaginary friends.

Example of how fantastic reality is:

David Gallo shows underwater astonishments

The Door to Hell. Cute name there, don’t you think?

Deinococcus Radiodurans, the “Marveous berry that endures radiation”. A bacterium that can survive up to 5000 Gy of ionizing radiation without loss in viability. Humans drop off at 10 Gy… E. coli goes at 60. Also very resistant against “ultraviolet light, desiccation, oxidizing and electrophilic agents”.

And… of course: my kids. Call it sappy but damnit, they are real and it’s bloody fantastic how they go from a single cell to the brats they are, talking back to me, the little rascals.

Small, small minded people.

Even the guy’s face looks like a horse’s ass.

many have done this. There have been many cases where someone made a pact that if they died that someone close to them would have a way of verifying any communication with them. It has sometimes been codes or something a number of yes/no questions and sometimes something else. This is not hard to do. If you have any relatives who are gullible enough to go to an ass like this, you can also do it and tell them how they can verify it if you meet an untimely death.

Anyway, what I am getting at is that in all such circumstances, nobody has ever been able to demonstrate this is valid or anything of the sort.

It’s not like there’s even a question with him. If you watch his shows, it’s just downright pathetic.

We all know why he would never allow himself to be put to task by someone like Mr. Randi or anyone else who was really going to make him prove it. He knows it would be a fair, well documented, totally open and completely transparent affair for all the world to examine. He also knows he would fail.
