Skeptics’ Circle #103

The first Skeptics’ Circle of the new year is up over at Bug Girl’s Blog. Go check it out! There’s lots of good stuff there to help you recover from the withdrawal I’m sure you faced, going without a Skeptics’ Circle for nearly an entire month.

I particularly enjoyed Kylie’s interview with Dr. Mark Henn at PodBlack Cat. They talk about what it means to be a deist, and whether that is really at odds with skepticism (as well as whether atheism and skepticism really go hand-in-hand). Lots of good stuff going on in the comments there, too. I was also fascinated by Whitney’s post at diapsalmata about a literary hoax that has fooled several academics. She shares her comparative media studies insight about what this can tell us about what makes good evidence, and what distinguishes the past from the present.

Don’t forget to submit your work to the next Skeptics’ Circle, over at Space City Skeptics, before it goes up on the 29th.
