Description: The charity I strongly endorse is called ASRI. It’s a hospital in Borneo that provides affordable health care to villages on the edge of a national park in return for a pledge not to cut down trees, The pledges are monitored, and the result is a dramatic decrease in deforestation rates and an increase in the health of the local population. The founders are hoping to spread the idea to other countries. (see psmag.com/social-justice/save-the-trees-well-save-your-life-46121 for an explanation of their work.) You can make a donation by bank transfer here… alamsehatlestari.org/donate …or if you want to do it online they also have a US fundraising arm called Health in Harmony that is trying to get the project running in other countries: healthinharmony.org/donate SOURCES: PragerU “Does Science argue for or against God?” youtube.com/watch?v=UjGPHF5A6Po S.E.T.I. mission: seti.org NASA’s three criteria for life: nasa.gov/audience/forstudents/postsecondary/features/mars_life_feature_1015.html Peter Schenkel article in Skeptical Inquirer: csicop.org/si/show/seti_requires_a_skeptical_reappraisal PragerU Frank Pastore video: youtube.com/watch?v=gIorXcloIac&t=74s Further reading: The research on quantum physics is now nearly 100 years old, so it has passed from journals into textbooks. I’ll spell these out so you can google them. There’s been a lot of updated research which you’ll find along the way, but so far no breakthrough that cures our current ignorance of the things I said “we don’t yet know” in the video: Schrodinger’s Cat experiment Double slit experiment (or Young’s slits) Cosmic inflation theory
