It is far better to grasp the world as it REALLY is than to persist in delusion, however satisfy and reassuring.
- Carl Sagan


The lack of proof does not prove the opposite. For people living thousands of years ago, an inability to prove the earth was round did not prove the earth was flat!


Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.
–Aldous Huxley

Committee For Skeptical Inquiry


"I was dismayed by the rising tide of belief in the paranormal and lack of adequate scientific examination of these claims... Books such as ... the 'Chariots of the Gods ... 'Worlds in Collision'... 'The Bermuda Triangle' were widely popular... I was distressed that my students confused astrology with astronomy...without the benefit of scientific critique. Most of my scientific colleagues were equally perplexed by what was happening,..."

What is Skepticism

Phil Plait - Don't Be A Dick.

What is Science

Science is that discipline that validates observations and proposes explanations base on the Scientific Method:
- Formulate the Question
- Propose a Falsifiable Hypothesis
- Predict based on the Hypothesis
- Test the Predictions
- Validate the results as Repeatable
- Submit Honestly for Peer Review

However,
A little learning is a dangerous thing;
Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring.

- Alexander Pope, 1709

Science never claims dogma and never says, "the debate is over." It requires a never-ending refinement of hypotheses based on continuous improvement of tests and insight.

Test for Scientific Worthiness

Micheal Shermer is the author of Why People Believe Weird Things and How We Believe and is Editor-in-Chief of Skeptic magazine. He often makes personal appearances on TV shows that wish to present a balance perspective relative to claims of the paranormal or fringes of belief systems. He has offered ten tests to determine the scientific worthiness of any claim. Click here for our summary of those tests.
