Skeptical Blurbs

Have you ever wanted concise rebuttals of the nonsense of the day? On this page we have collected a number of rebuttals, suitable for release to a news organization. These are not intended to be complete treatments of a topic, but instead are short summaries. References are included so that interested readers can learn more, or see what has influenced our position.

The New York Area Skeptics maintain a bibliography similar in purpose to these blurbs, and the Skeptic's Dictionary is also highly recommended. Another resource is the New England Skeptical Society's Encyclopedia.

Any constructive comments or blurb donations are welcome; E-mail these to Roy Auerbach. If your message is about a particular blurb, please indicate in some way which one you are referring to, as it's not alway obvious from the context.

All of the below blurbs are available in a spiral binder for $5.00 + $3.00 shipping and handling (if you order by mail). Copies can be bought at the meetings or by using the order form.

If you are looking for web links on these and other topics, try our links page. It would probably be more convenient to have the links in the blurbs themselves, and Your Humble Webmaster may eventually get around to it, but finding and organizing links takes time, and I do have other responsibilities besides this web site. (Like earning a living. <grin>)
