Coltul scepticului Options

[angeldust]

Ma gandeam sa avem un topic si pentru sceptici, atei sau pur si simplu oameni care isi pun diferite intrebari legate de mituri, credinta, superstitii, samd.

Pentru ca tot am vorbit zilele astea despre subiect, o sa incep cu cateva filmulete in care Richard Dawkins il intervieveaza pe Derren Brown (un cunoscut mentalist, iluzionist sau cum vreti sa ii spuneti). Discutia se refera la presupusele puteri paranormale pe care unii spun ca le au si care ii ajuta sa vorbeasca cu mortii, sa ghiceasca diferite chestii legate de o persoana, sa ii spuna de ce boli sufera si asa mai departe.
Derren explica de ce crede el ca toti acesti "mediumi" sunt sarlatani si vorbeste despre anumite tehnici care sunt folosite in mentalism pentru a obtine aceleasi efecte, cum ar fi "cold reading" "eye cues" samd.

Stiu ca este pentru unii un subiect delicat, dar as vrea sa stiu parerea voastra despre subiectul : viata dupa moarte si oameni care au un oarecare acces la ce se intampla acolo. Credeti in asa ceva? Ati avut parte de intamplari inexplicabile?

Rozico mama, unde ai citit tu asta?
Banuiesc ca te referi la experimentul Miller-Urey
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller%E2%80%93Urey_experiment
"The experiment used water (H2O), methane (CH4), ammonia (NH3), and hydrogen (H2). The chemicals were all sealed inside a sterile array of glass tubes and flasks connected in a loop, with one flask half-full of liquid water and another flask containing a pair of electrodes. The liquid water was heated to induce evaporation, sparks were fired between the electrodes to simulate lightning through the atmosphere and water vapor, and then the atmosphere was cooled again so that the water could condense and trickle back into the first flask in a continuous cycle.

At the end of one week of continuous operation, Miller and Urey observed that as much as 10–15% of the carbon within the system was now in the form of organic compounds. Two percent of the carbon had formed amino acids that are used to make proteins in living cells, with glycine as the most abundant. Sugars, lipids, and some of the building blocks for nucleic acids were also formed."
Pai astia n-au facut decat sa arate ca e posibil. Adica ce sustin aia acolo (Oparin si Haldane) nu e departe de adevar. Insa de la a crea niste aminoacizi pana la un organism care sa se hraneasca singur sunt ani si ani de cercetari. Nu cred ca am ajuns inca in stadiul ala.
