million

I had a thought about the million dollar challenge. Some of the complaints or confusion out there comes from the fact that the challenge is loosely defined and that the protocol is to be worked out by the foundation and the individual in question. Perhaps it would help foster an understanding...

If you are a skeptic~ and are/can be in Frederick Maryland some week day/week evening and you have pain, I would do my Hands-Over you would tell me if there was no change or if things felt worse. I've worked with back pain, hip pain (after a surgery for the hips), arthritis of the knee...

I don't post much here anymore, but I saw this article on Fark and was so moved that I had to share it: http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/15784278.htm What an amazing person. She lived wisely and modestly, then gave her fortune for the betterment of science and to help those suffering...

It must be easy to put up money for something that can't possibly happen. Heck, I'll give a Billion Dollars to anyone finding a bigfoot. (No offense to the foundation!) The Elvis Challenge.

According to the huffingtonpost, Iraqi PM Maliki is pledging $35 million in aid to Lebanon. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/arianna-huffington/malikis-testy-visit-is-_b_25790.html Arianna asks a good question: where exactly is that $35 million in aid coming from?!

OK - I've only been hanging around JREF actively for about a year - and perhaps someone has already thought of this idea. Or perhaps it violates the spirit of the challenge rules (I don't think it does - but I could be wrong.) I'm posting to this thread as I see it more as a TAMV issue than a...

Or any other mutant with telapathic powers for that matter? The JREF prize is for anyone who can demonstrate "paranormal" abilities, but if X-Men-type mutations were real, they would most certainly be natural. So, would the X-Men be eligible for the prize? Just curious.

Barabaro injured out of the starting gate. Favorite horse in Baltimore Preakness Stakes is taken away by veterinary ambulance, probably never to run again. Who predicted that tragic outcome? Anyone?

I'd love to get my hands on Randi's million dollar prize. There's only one problem. I see absolutely no evidence that God, the devil, angels, demons, Heaven, Hell, psychic phenomena, or anything supernatural or paranormal exists. I think it likely that the universe has continued merrily...

Just once---I'd like to see a post that's obviously trollish in origin (AmyWilson's "do you have the balls" post for example) be totaly IGNORED. Nada.....not a single response. The post will stand alone and completely ignored as if it never existed. I'm not trying to find out how a troll...

I have personal experience with both telepathy and precognition. In the case of telepathy I have proven it to two other people. Of course that required telling them about their thoughts and experiences that they assumed were private. When the persons realized that their thoughts are not...

I read the remarks at NCH Pakistan forum that James Randi foundation has removed the offer to present one million dollar to whom who will prove that homeopathic potencies have starting material molecules in above 12c potency? Please confirm? http://www.nch.ipbfree.com/index.php?showtopic=767...

I know the prize is usually for "paranormal" events, but would someone proving the existence of "chemtrails" be elgible? I am wondering because I'm in the middle of a debate with someone who now claims that he has personally seen "chemtrails" being distributed. He offered photos but I demanded...

A gripping and informative read about the formation of the drug cartel over twentieth century. After reading this excerpt our enlightened skeptic may well want to wait a decade or two before trying any new drug invented in the twenty first century. The title of the book should have been, "The...

Hi there, I understand that JREF will not now consider people who claim to be able to survive without food or water for the milliom dollar challenge. I have had a converstion with someone who is adimant that they have and can survive for longer than 21 days with no food or water and is...

Hopefully not already posted. And it isn't James Randi's money. BoingBoing, along with others, is offering $1 million (originally $250,000 but others have been kicking in) to prove "that Jesus is not the son of the Flying Spaghetti Monster." BoingBoing's offer In case you're wonder what the...

Comming To An Atheist Near You... Is it a scratcher?

I think the wording of this article title was just so appropriate: http://www.opera.com/pressreleases/en/2005/04/21/

How many babies were killed in 2000? 1.31 million. Why don't anti-war liberals care about babies being slaughtered? How can you point the finger at Bush when you GLADLY allow 1.31 million babies to die in cold blooded murder?
