Banned TED Talk: The Science Delusion - Rupert Sheldrake

RE: Banned TED Talk: The Science Delusion - Rupert Sheldrake
But doesn't that speak volumes to how weak a system of belief is?

If a specific individual brings up a point, or points out a flaw in personal reasoning or even in this case draws a parallel between faith in science and faith in religion, and this person's conclusion is dismissed just because it came from a specific person, doesn't that conclusively show you how weak your beliefs are? In that inorder to refute the message you must kill the messenger or in my case discredit the messenger so the message doesn't have to be taken seriously.

So what say you now?

You've Got a youtube guy with a british accent telling you that belief in science is faith based because of how wrong it is most of the time. That science is not the foundation that 'educated' people have been programmed to believe it to be.

Isn't this the format you've been programed to accept new information? White professor type, who uses big words and speaks with an intelligent accent provides a statement then proves it's existence by using contemporary examples and wrapping it all up with a easy to understand conclusion? Al gore used the same format to tell you the sky was falling and low and behold you fell for that... Why not this?

why does this fail? is it because of me again?
