  $7.50

  Preemptive war, rogue nations, terrorists, unilateralism:

  Do you think policies of preemptive war or preventive war against “rogue” nations will help prevent terrorists from obtaining and using weapons of mass destruction?

  If one presidential administration adopts a policy of unilateralism in the war on terrorism, do future presidents have their options narrowed when it comes to asking other countries for help in preventing terrorist attacks?  Explain your reasoning.  Discuss.  Feel free to refer to the lessons of the film, “The Fog of War”, as relevant.

  Ancient Aliens Built the Pyramids: A Skeptical Analysis

  $5.00

  Ancient Alien proponents make a variety of extraordinary claims suggesting that extraterrestrial alien beings have been visiting Earth and directing human cultural and biological evolution for millennia. One such extraordinary claim is that ancient extraterrestrial aliens built the Great Pyramid at Giza in Egypt.

  • Briefly discuss in 3-5 sentences the terrestrial, down-to-earth counterarguments to the following extraordinary claims:

  1. Claim: The sandstone, limestone, and granite blocks used to built the Great Pyramid were too heavy for the Egyptians to move by conventional methods and could only have been moved using ancient alien anti-gravity technology.
  2. Claim: Ancient aliens used laser technology to cut the perfectly smooth stone blocks used to build the pyramids, since the ancient Egyptians possessed no method to make such precise cuts.
  3. The ancient Egyptian stone quarries at Aswan contain a massive unfinished obelisk that was being cut from the bedrock. Near the completion of the process, the huge monument developed cracks and was abandoned in place. Explain how this incomplete obelisk provides strong evidence against the claim that Ancient Aliens built the Great Pyramid.
  4. The logical fallacy of Personal Incredulity is committed when an individual rejects an explanation because he or she personally finds it hard to believe, often because the explanation may be complex and difficult to understand, may be viewed as incomplete, or may conflict with the individual’s worldview. Discuss how personal incredulity plays a role in Ancient Alien proponents rejecting the overwhelming evidence that ancient Egyptians built the Great Pyramid.

  A Skeptical Analysis on Alien Abduction

  $5.00

  A Skeptical Analysis on Alien Abduction

  1. Explain how (hypnagogic and hypnopompic) sleep paralysis and accompanying hallucinations contribute to “abductees” believing they have been kidnapped by aliens.

  2. Folklore in many cultures claim that sleep paralysis is caused by a demon, incubus, succubus, hag, witch, or ghost sitting on the sleeper’s chest. Explain how the existence of this folklore is strong evidence against alien abduction.

  3. Explain why hypnosis is not a reliable technique to recover memories of abduction by aliens (or anything else).

  4. Explain how the great distances to other stars and their planets is good evidence against Earth being visited by extraterrestrials.

  5. Many abductees claim to have given birth to human/alien hybrid babies. Carl Sagan notes that a human being would have a far better chance of reproducing with a petunia (flower) than an extraterrestrial from another planet. Explain what Sagan means.

  1. Physical evidence of UFOs, such as crash debris found near Roswell, New Mexico in 1947 and rings in grass claimed to be UFO landing sites.
