RE: [escepticos] RV: When Science Tries to Debate Pseudoscience



Puede ser interesante. Lo que ocurre es que aquí el creacionismo no está tan
extendido y/o no es tan activo como en los EEUU, así que será difícil poner
en práctica la idea.

Y con el resto de las creencias paranormales, imposible. Si le preguntamos a
un creyente en los ovnis si cree también en la parapsicología, o en la
adivinación del porvenir, o en los poderes curativos de los cirujanos
psíquicos, lo más seguro es que nos diga que sí. A lo mejor si le
preguntamos por el Ratón Pérez...

Saludetes.
