Score One For The CSICOPs!

The Center for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal (CSICOP), which publishes Skeptical Inquirer magazine, has an anti-supernatural bias, but occasionally they get on right.

They just did!

(Well, technically they did in their November-December 2004 issue, which just showed up onlin.)

HERE’S A PIECE DEBUNKING THAT WHOLE DA VINCI CODE, HOLY BLOOD HOLY GRAIL NONSENSE ABOUT THE RENNES-LE-CHATEAU, THE PRIORY OF ZION, THE MEROVINGIAN KING LINE BEING DESCENDED FROM JESUS, WHO WAS MARRIED TO MARY MAGDALENE, ETC.

(I wonder if everyone on their staff is a P-10. Sure would be helpful in ferreting out information for their magazine.)

Author: Jimmy Akin

Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith, and in 1992 he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth. Besides being an author, Jimmy is the Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to Catholic Answers Magazine, and a weekly guest on "Catholic Answers Live."

  1. I wonder if everyone on their staff is a P-10. Sure would be helpful in ferreting out information for their magazine.
    If the CSI-COPs are anything like Psi-Cops, then everyone would have to be a P-12.

  2. Prior to Vatican II, priests received a stipend for each Mass they said.
    LOL. Someone needs to tell our priests that they aren’t supposed to be receiving stipends any more. 😉

  3. Babylon 5 reference.
    And Publius is right. PsiCops have to be P-12 in telepathic ability.
    You have to be P-10 to be an instructor at the academy. I misremembered.
    See why I say my memory is frustratingly inadequate!

  4. Yes Jimmy: You forget the important things like P-10/12 and that Carter got promoted to Col. But you keep forgetting all the less important stuff related to eternal life. Jesh!
    🙂

  5. “But you keep forgetting all the less important stuff related to eternal life. Jesh!”
    I meant to say “remembering”.

  6. I understood–and appreciated–the joke. 🙂
    Recognized that you just weren’t using the right frond. Probly something wrong with the gozers.
