	CNN - Review: 'Weird Science' - October 7, 1999
		In "Weird Science: An Expert Explains Ghosts, Voodoo, the UFO Conspiracy, and Other Paranormal Phenomena," White examines the realm of the paranormal with the eye of a scientist.
		He's a former science editor for the British "Gentleman's Quarterly," but some of his explanations can be tedious and repetitive.
		On the whole, "Weird Science" does a credible job of laying bare the fallacies of those who claim supernatural forces are at work in our world.

	Can 'weird science' save the Sox? - The Boston Globe
		We can use some arcane research to pull this one out of the hat by utilizing the latest findings in the ''weird science" of subtle energy medicine and nonlocal phenomena.
		There's a well-developed science of intangibles that involves concepts like distant intentionality, the memory of water, intercessory prayer, and conditioned spaces.
		Weird science can help the Sox win again in 2005.

	Independent Gay Forum: McNabb, Kim. Weird Science: J. Michael Bailey's 'The Man Who Would Be Queen'
		It's not science when you write pages about what “perfect” studies would need to be conducted to prove your wanted findings, and then write that, of course, these studies could never be done because of their length and complexity.
		It's not science taking an 8-year-old boy's cross-dressing issue and basing an entire book on the question of what he may or may not become later in life.
		It's not science to base your knowledge of transgender and gay lives on what they say they are seeking in personal ads.

		Both Dr Keogh's discovery of the wheel and the rhinotillexomania findings were among the finalists at this year's farcical Ig Nobel Awards, presented at Harvard University, celebrating the most improbable research and discovery of the past 12 months.
		The event is sponsored by the magazine, Annals of Improbable Research, a kind of Private Eye of the science world, which, in the past, has published articles with titles like Adolescent Dementia and Feline Reactions to Bearded Men, and an apparently serious "scientific" investigation into collapsing Scottish toilets in Glasgow.
		Pundits wishing to mock the more extreme endeavours of some researchers in the coming year might therefore be well advised to do so only after first hiring a Robo-roach for protection and eating an invisible chocolate bar or two.

	The Politburo Diktat: Weird Science
		About a year ago I went to the offices of the American Academy for the Advancement of Science to get a copy of their magazine, Science, and picked up a brochure in which AAAS boasted that its mission includes "increased federal funding" for scientists.
		And it makes me doubt that the magazine (Science) produced by such a lobbying organization will be likely to publish articles that tend to show that past federal funding achieved by such lobbying was a waste that paid for sloppy math, bad science, and encouraged bad policies.
		Editors at Science ignored an e-mail I sent inquiring whether they had an editorial firewall that insulated their content from lobbying interests of the AAAS, Science's publisher.

		The Perfectly Equal Society: (1) In January, Canada's human rights commission was authorized by the Supreme Court to resume consideration of a union's claim that Air Canada's flight attendants (who are mostly women) are just as valuable, and therefore should be paid the same, as its pilots and mechanics (mostly men).

	WorldNetDaily: Weird science
		Even "weird" seems to be an inadequate adjective to describe this, even in Great Britain, the country that gave us the English language in the first place.
		Modern science, aided by the sophisticated propaganda machines of the 21st century have convinced the entire planet that its pretty much OK to do the same thing on our own children – as long as we do it before they look like children – and nobody bats an eye.
		No wonder the Apostle Paul was so emphatic when he penned this warning about weird science to Timothy, almost 2,000 years ago: "O Timothy, keep that which is committed to your trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: Which some professing have erred concerning the faith" (1 Tim.

		This is not a comprehensive history of paleontology or biology, nor is it the result of systematic research.

	Reason
		Perhaps science has an explanation for believers in psychic phenomena—excess dopamine in their brains causes them to overidentify patterns in random data.
		Until experimental replication without a lot of fancy statistical massaging occurs regularly, research on the paranormal will and should remain on the fringes of science.

		The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's budget is also due for a 12.1 percent decrease (a reduction of $555 million), while the National Science Foundation is slated to receive only a 2.4 percent increase to $5.6 billion, which is still $47 million less than its fiscal 2004 funding level.
		It is my sincere opinion, and I assure you I am not at all alone in this, that this is a concerted effort by the rightwing zealots currently in power to stifle any science that is not in agreement with their politics by simply eliminating those positions that might show otherwise...very worrisome indeed.
		I believe the systematic attack on science from this administration is only now coming to light, with little press attention given to specific violations at this point.

	AlterNet: Weird Science on the Religious Right
		It seems that science is about questioning and exploring, and that many within the religion arena also encourage this.
		It is inherently human to be afraid of change, so that would explain why those who do not have the security of a true God to hold their beliefs in are so afraid of looking at anything that would wreak havoc on their narrow views of Darwinism.
		It would seem religious organizations need to overcome their fear of losing their flocks to science and the scientists need to expand their emphasis on the compatibility of science and religion in helping us better understand both our beginnings and our destiny.
