Description

Welcome To The Skeptics Forum

"It's a dangerous thing to believe in nonsense"--James Randi

The Skeptics Forum is devoted to critical discussion of extraordinary claims. In connection with paranormal claims, issues involving science and philosophy in general are often raised. While the common point of view expressed is skepticism about claims that go against current scientific pictures, critical approaches to science itself are also encouraged. The level of the discussion varies but is mostly informal.

While intelligent people can disagree, such disagreements on the Skeptics Forum should be conducted in a civil manner. Name calling and personal attacks are not permitted.

Please take a look around our Group. We have sections for Photos, Files, Databases, Bookmarks or you can chat in our Skeptics Forum Chat room.

If you have any photos, articles, bookmarks or databases you would like to share then please up load them into the proper section.  We hope you will post your photo in the "Skeptical Chicks-Studmufins" Photo Album.

Re: "Klaatu barada nikto"
... Heh, heh. Yeah, I'm a SF fan (books, not movies or TV), and I'd love to see evidence of intelligent extraterrestrials. I've had UFO enthusiasts tell me
