Title: What do you make of this..
Post by: Ba'al on November 19, 2010, 11:47:29 AM
This is a podcast with Dr. Bruce Lipton - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Lipton (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Lipton) - speaking of epigenetics... http://attendthisevent.com/?eventID=15332592 (http://attendthisevent.com/?eventID=15332592)  what do you make of this? I know very little about genetics or quantum physics. So I'll leave it to the members who know something about these topics. What is your take on this? Does Lipton's work prove or disprove anything??

Are you joking?

Seriously, are you joking? I'm not sure if you are or not.

If not, and you are really looking for opinions, here's mine: This is pure bullshit. Lipton is a liar, fraud, douche, has zero credentials is quantum anything, and misrepresents biology, genetics, science, and even the most basic definitions of words within these studies.

Epigenetics is caused by chemistry, not beliefs.  The extent and variety of chemical opportunities latent and exploited are vast.  The science is cool enough on its own.  No need for New Age claptrap.  Here is the Wiki article on epigenetics: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epigenetics

Thanks for the clarification, and your opinion..
You see when i came across this, i really dint know what to make of it, and i had never heard of this Lipton fellow or his theory before. I didn't have enough info on the topic so i tried searching through the web, couldn't find anything, so i decided to bring it here.
Maybe i shouldn't have posted it in the science board.

Maybe it should have been posted in one of the wibble boards, because wibble is what it is. The man's an utter whackjob.

No, it's fine where you posted it. Nothing against you, or you asking the question, I promise. I don't always remember that some people haven't seen this kind of stuff before. I honestly and truly thought you had to be joking, because I've seen so much of this, and assumed that pretty much everyone had also seen it.

So, pardon my frankness. Lipton really is whacked out of his mind, and/or a complete fraud.

The most expensive item she was purchasing just happened to be underneath some bags he had in the trolley, and she just happened to forgot about it even though as makeup it would have stood out in her mind since.

Wait... What?!?

I can't, for the life of me, figure out what this post could possibly have to do with anything.
Am I missing something?

Princesmith was banned days ago. Just a spammer.
