Freaky Science
Weird, wacky and sometimes all too true stories from the strange world of real and pseudo-science.

Pity the poor biology professor in Texas, Dr. Michael L. Dini, who's being investigated by the Liberty Legal Institute because he insists his students affirm their  belief in science if they want him to write a letter of recommendation for post-graduate studies. Putting the shoe on the other foot, would a scientist wishing to enter divinity school be rejected if she refused to affirm her belief in God and the sacraments of the Christian church? I suspect it would definitely be a problem in the latter case. Ironically, Professor Dini is from a Catholic educational background. [Source: E-Skeptic newsletter, February 5, 02003]

Dr. Stephen Wolfram, author of the controversial, bestselling, self-published book A New Kind of Science (2002), spoke at CalTech on February 1, 02003. For two reviews of his one-hour lecture and rebuttal by a panel of scientists, try and get a hold of the E-Skeptic issue for February 6, 02003 from Skeptic.com.
