Calling DU Scientists, science buffs, science students.... [View All]

[OneGrassRoot]

This may be a dupe, and I apologize if so, but I couldn't find a similar thread in a cursory search.

And, rest assured, there is absolutely no intention to start a flame war whatsoever (though I can't speak for what happens by others from here on...the most benign posts can get out of hand in a way I never could have imagined).

There have been many a thread here in the last few days regarding whether or not people believe in the paranormal (I'll use that umbrella term). Many of those with scientific backgrounds interjected their very strong comments that it is dangerous for people to believe in such things - to believe in anything - without scientific proof.

I'm not rehashing that argument.

My question is this: did any of you support DK prior to last night's debate but no longer do after learning (assuming it was indeed news to you) about his UFO experience/sighting?

Is there a particular dem candidate the scientific community tends to support, or the scientific community absolutely does NOT support? I know it isn't fair to lump any group of people, be it due to their profession or otherwise, but I'm simply curious about this. That's all it is...pure curiosity based on observing the other interactions over the last few days.

And I would ask people not to post snarky things in response to anyone within the science community sharing their views here, even if you feel it has been unnecessarily done to you in the past.

Thanks in advance! :hi:
