b) that X-rays are readily absorbed in the atmosphere, so that any extraterrestrial X-rays have ZERO chance reaching the surface of our planet.
"a" is a typical woo-woo nonsense, while "b" has a lot of truth to it.

I called it the emperor's new clothes effect. Some day one of their friends will say, "For the love of pete, please sit down." Then they will realize they are "naked."

If there were some new energy then it could be detected by means other than "I sense it" or whatever people want to claim. It's a pretend situation.
Your taxes example is completely off the mark. It is possible to independently determine that taxes are paid. In the case of the new energy all there is are testimonials, the sort of thing used to sell crap on the shopping networks on TV.

Amen, the human mind is a powerful trickster. If we believe it, it becomes true (to ourselves).

The atmosphere is as good as gone if the earth's magnetic poles shift. At the very least, it will be weakened. The stability will be way off whack.
I'm asking nicely here, and you are beginning to irritate the crap out of me
Except the Left Brain-Right Brain paradigm is a bunch of hokum. Just like the 10% myth and a number of other falsehoods that the New Age crowd like to spout because it sounds good on paper and gets people to buy their books.
Do you care to quantify all of that? Because you have to vacuum off most of the atmosphere to make X-rays into a threat. Since this is hardly possible, your statement remains solidly what it was, i.e. a pile of cr@p unsupported by anything at all.
Oh good. And save the niceties.
Nonsense is nonsense, no matter how many times you repeat same.

There's a difference between skepticism and ignorance. Taking a few rumors of "New Age" and using it to slap a huge HOAX label on the entire category is asinine.
