Welcome
Welcome to Caer Abred: Forum of the Druidic Order of Naturalists

Druidic Naturalism holds that there is only Nature and that the scientific method is the best suited to determine the nature of Nature. This is balanced with an aesthetic response to the world that is in line with that shared by the Druid community as a whole.

Druidic Naturalists will probably tend to be Pantheist, Agnostic or Atheist, yet see in Druidry an appropriate philosophy that allows one to honour ones Land and Ancestors in a way that establishes a healthy, and ethical, relationship with them and with ones fellow creatures.

Druidic Naturalism, as it has developed so far, embraces ritual, art and celebration as effective and satisfying ways to express this secular spirituality.

MMR doctor Andrew Wakefield fixed data on autism

"Science" at its worst and journalism at its best:

Meanwhile the number of measles cases continues to rise in the UK as herd-immunity decreases. If these scares are to be believed the MMR vaccine only causes Autism in the UK and US, while the Hep.B vaccine only causes Multiple Sclerosis in France.

Think we've had a goodly debate on this in Another Place CW me darlin'.

I haven't really got time to play Devil's Advocate again - but it was a damn fine thought-provoking thing we did then.

The person who stands in a crowded theatre and screams "Fire!", knowing there isn't one, stands to be prosecuted for death or injury caused by their stupid actions. I look forward to hearing of some cases concerning Wakefield & sundry journos.
It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring

Skeptical scrutiny is the means, in both science and religion, by which deep thoughts can be winnowed from deep nonsense
