More quotes by James Randi
I don't expect that the million will ever be won, simply because there is no confirming evidence for any paranormal claims to date.
James Randi
The problem with experiments has always been that human beings make the decisions on whether or not the animals have benefitted from the treatment.
James Randi
They would have been very let down if they had to leave the theater and he had missed. He would feel badly. Everyone would feel badly. But he never let them down.
James Randi
Those who believe without reason cannot be convinced by reason.
James Randi
Science is a search for basic truths about the Universe, a search which develops statements that appear to describe how the Universe works, but which are subject to correction, revision, adjustment, or even outright rejection, upon the presentation of better or conflicting evidence.
James Randi
There is a distinct difference between having an open mind and having a hole in your head from which your brain leaks out.
James Randi
Science is best defined as a careful, disciplined, logical search for knowledge about any and all aspects of the universe, obtained by examination of the best available evidence and always subject to correction and improvement upon discovery of better evidence. What's left is magic. And it doesn't work.
James Randi
gods are children's blankets that get carried over into adulthood.
James Randi
However, I believe that it would be difficult to have legitimate scientists agree to participate.
James Randi
Magicians are the most honest people in the world they tell you they're gonna fool you, and then they do it.
James Randi
The market for nonsense is infinite.
James Randi
One thing that has made a big comeback just recently is this business of speaking with the dead. To my innocent mind, 'dead' implies incapable of communicating.
James Randi
No matter how smart or well-educated you are, you can be deceived.
James Randi
Death is the ultimate disappointment
James Randi
Nostradamus himself confessed that the vague manner in which he wrote his prophecies was so that 'they could not possibly be understood until they were interpreted after the event and by it.'
James Randi
People who are smart get into Mensa. People who are really smart look around and leave.
James Randi
Paranormal phenomena have a habit of going away whenever they are tested under rigorous conditions. This is why the $1,000,000 reward of James Randi, offered to anyone who can demonstrate a paranormal effect under proper scientific controls, is safe.
James Randi
There's something about the Houdini act that is not always made clear - about the escape act in general.
James Randi
The conjuror or con man is a very good provider of information. He supplies lots of data, by inference or direct statement, but it's false data. Scientists aren't used to that scenario. An electron or a galaxy is not capricious, nor deceptive but a human can be either or both.
James Randi
Expose every belief to the light of reason, discourse, facts, scientific observations question everything, be sceptical because this is the only chance at life you will ever get.
