Welcome to the Skepticism, Science & Pseudoscience Group
This discussion thread is pinned and locked. It is closed to new replies.
This group is for the discussion of issues related to skepticism, science and pseudoscience, and the role of rationalism in society. Skepticism is not used here to mean doubting, but refers to a desire to subject ideas and conclusions to research and investigation. It is expected that members of this group generally accept that the consensus of the scientific community on any given topic is the result of overwhelming evidence born out of this investigation and research and not a conspiracy to silence or conceal the truth.
Non-skeptics are invited to participate, provided that they do so in a respectful, non-disruptive manner. If you believe in astrology, faith-healing, tarot, magic, homeopathy, expanding earth, electric universe, creationism, or other non-scientific or pseudoscientific worldview, this may not be the place for you.
Posts that endorse, promote, or support pseudoscientific, anti-vaccination, alt-med, or creationist beliefs, products, or materials are not considered acceptable for this group. For this reason, links and excerpts from pseudoscientific, anti-vaccination, alt-med, or creationist sites are permitted only for the purposes of criticism.
