Skeptical Inquirer is the same publication that was caught fudging the
numbers when critiquing the
proof for Astrology by Michel Gauquelin. S.I. put Drs. Abel and Bok, Nobel Prize
winners, on the case as their attack dogs. Problem is that the case by
Gauquelin was too strong so they had to cheat on the numbers. When these guys
got caught, it was a major stain on their careers. Now here is the best part.
Abel and Bok were vehement opponents against Astrology, even though they had
never studied it.
They were born just a few weeks apart, were life long friends, and followed much
the same career path, including embarrassing themselves at the end of their
carreers with cheating trying to discredit Astrology. . They died a few weeks
apart just as they had been been just a few weeks apart. Hmmmm? Jimi Hendirx
and Janis Joplin were born 5 weeks apart and died 5 weeks apart. Both had
similar careers and died from drug overdose. Coincidence? Perhaps.
Coincidentally,
Norman
