pseudoscientificDefinition from Wiktionary, the free dictionary Jump to: navigation, searchFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Pseudoscience is a methodology, belief, or practice that is claimed to be scientific, or that is made to appear to be scientific, but which does not adhere to an appropriate scientific methodology, lacks supporting evidence or plausibility, or otherwise lacks scientific status. The term is inherently pejorative, because it is used to assert that something is being inaccurately or deceptively portrayed as science, Accordingly, those labeled as practicing or advocating pseudoscience normally dispute the characterization. Pseudoscience has been characterised by the use of vague, exaggerated or untestable claims, over-reliance on confirmation rather than refutation, lack of openness to testing by other experts, and a lack of progress in theory development. There is disagreement among philosophers of science and commentators in the scientific community as to whether there is a reliable way of distinguishing pseudoscience from non-mainstream science. Paul DeHart Hurd, who is among the science educators who have taught courses on the topic, wrote that part of gaining scientific literacy is being able to tell science apart from "pseudo-science, such as astrology, quackery, the occult, and superstition".

As you have already pointed out it is pseudo scientific. This there fore means it has no relevance to anything. It is a lot of mumbo jumbo and is all made up by the people who have failed their exams at school and want to appear clever. If you make up a science , you can make your own rules and you are right in everything you say . You can also fit in bits of real science [such as] trig in order to give your new science a bit of credibility.

'The Rockefeller Foundation helped found the German eugenics program and even funded the program that Josef Mengele worked in before he went to Auschwitz.

Q. Mainly because for one, feminism shouldn't be dealing with men at all. Since it's already gynocentric enough as WOMEN's movement. Yet many feminists and gender theorists feel the right to self-righteously deconstruct, criticize, trivialize and eventually demonize masculinity in men. As most of their belief systems and theories are based on archaic pseudoscientific sociological theories and their accompanying literature, almost always leading to all we are a social construct - biology having no influence whatsoever. So if children s minds are blank slates, we can then socialize into how WE as the state best see fit. Then the analogies to Marxism/Socialism come along understandably, with the underlying premises of social engineering… [cont.] Asked by The Dude Minds - Wed Jul 23 14:49:05 2008 - - 15 Answers - 0 Comments A.
