The Island of Doubt

An irregular exploration of the struggle between the power of rational discourse and the scientific method on one hand, and the forces of superstition and dogma on the other. Mostly regarding climate change, though.

The Meaning of the
Island of Doubt


Author's site: cyamid.net


Add to Technorati Favorites! Penetrating so many secrets, we cease to believe in the unknowable. But there it sits nevertheless, calmly licking its chops.
--- H. L. Mencken

By doubting we come to inquiry; and through inquiry we perceive truth.
--- Peter Abelard

Undisguised clarity is easily mistaken for arrogance.
-- Richard Dawkins

As for evolution, it happened. Deal with it.
-- Michael Shermer.

"There is no need to sally forth, for it remains true that those things which make us human are, curiously enough, always close at hand. Resolve, then, that on this very ground, with small flags waving, and tiny blasts of tinny trumpets, we have met the enemy, and not only may he be ours, he may be us."
--Walt Kelly

Vote for best Science Blog: Bad Astronomy

Category: misc
Posted on: November 8, 2007 2:54 PM, by James Hrynyshyn

Vote now, before the polls close today at 10 pm ET, in the Best Science Blog competition. It's neck and neck between Bad Astronomy, which is a pretty cool read, and Climate Audit, which is a place where people who refuse to accept the science on climate change hang out. So help give BA the edge.

A number of blogs are suggesting this. Wouldn't it be better to publish the fact that these web blog awards are meaningless, since people can vote more than once??

Penis enlargement pills have been available for many decades now but due to the nature of the supplement and the reason for wanting them they are not very high profile in the mainstream media. The penis is still considered taboo and what male would freely engage in conversation about the need for them.

These natural capsules contain 100% herbal ingredients. The right pills taken in the right way can restore your sexual function without unpleasant side effects. You do not require a doctor's prescription. Most leading brands have been formulated by professional teams of medical doctors with many years of experience and research. Avoid any herbal pill that promises instant results the minute you take them as they are likely to contain less than 100% natural ingredients.

Penis enlargement pills are one of the most accepted and widely used forms of male enhancement available today. While there are pumps and exercises out there that can help increase length and girth when used properly, and regularly, an enlargement pill will generally provide longer
lasting results with less effort required on your part.
