![]() Paid Disinformation Blogger Level: 14 CS Original | And the reviews are in!
As I posted in the comments: ""Whoever you are, thanks for your response, but you're totally wrong. The Journal of 9/11 Studies is not a peer-reviewed journal. It's entirely a sham conjured up by Steven Jones and other 9/11 Truthers to provide the illusion of peer review. You can read all about the dishonesty inherent in this scam here: http://sites.google.com/site/wtc7lies/theyoughtaknowbetter:critiquesoftheinept There are no legitimate peer-reviewed articles supporting 9/11 conspiracy. None. Zero. The ones that the commenter is referring to are absolutely fraudulent." | |||||

![]() Level: 10 CS Original | Lol, I love it when Conspiracy theorists think truthers' fake "journals" are the same as actual peer review. I find the best way to show how stupid this is isto compare it to Creationists "peer reviewed journals". For example, you have "Journal of Creation" Or Answers Research Journal: Which amusingly states:
Creationists cant get anything in real peer reviewed journals either, so they have to create their own just like Truthers have had to do. Thats why they went so crazy about getting a paper in a Bentham journal, because it wasn't their inhouse one. | |||||

![]() Level: 10 CS Original | And btw...
Completely false, as usual. As Muertos said, absolutely no mainstream journals have truthers papers published, except for that one in Bentham... but you really dont want to try and cite that shoddy enterprise as a well respected legitimate journal... In other words, as usual, truthers are wrong about just about everything back to front.
I also love how truthers project their own faults onto others. Googling "911 Truth Journal" is apparently all this guy felt he needed to do.
Quoted to laugh at ... | |||||

![]() Level: 12 CS Original | On a more serious note, there are many people who cannot discern between credible and incredible peer-reviewed journals. I personally used to think that all peer-reviewed journals had to be legit. Unfortunately, there is no cut and dry decision on that topic. Granted, a creationism journal is probably going to be bullshit. The credibility or lack thereof of a medical journal with MDs and PhDs supporting the research, however, is not so obvious. | |||||

![]() Level: 9 CS Original | With a little research, I think it shouldn't be too hard to determine the credible journals from the ones without much credibility. Anyways Muertos, good read; both the original post and the rage-filled response. | |||||

![]() Level: 10 CS Original | Aaron, are you aware there are Creationists with legitimate degrees in relevant subjects? Anyway the point is if you are completely ignorant of the scientific process you end up posting something as retarded as that guy did, yet look at how arrogant he is. | |||||

![]() Level: 12 CS Original | Creationism journals are a joke, whereas the credibility of journals of medicine and science require more analysis. These peer-reviewed journal articles boasted by quack doctors and scientists have a major impact in the CT world. A CTer who has supposedly scientific support for his or her beliefs will see an increase in ego and arrogance. Stripping them of the "scientific" evidence they think they have works a lot better than rationalizing their logic. For example, telling me there's no way Bush could pull off 9/11 does nothing. Showing me that the peer-reviewed, scientific evidence of a demolition is fraudulent does something. | |||||
