Pseudoscientists often reveal themselves by their handling of the scientific literature. Their idea of doing scientific research is simply to read scientific periodicals and monographs. They focus on words, not on the underlying facts and reasoning. They take science to be all statements by scientists. Science degenerates into a secular substitute for sacred literature. Any statement by any scientist can be cited against any other statement. Every statement counts and every statement is open to interpretation. - Science and Unreason, Radner and Radner

Love your graphic!

IMHO, it’s a sad shame that so many people think that it is necessary to believe in Creationism in order to believe in God. Karen Armstrong’s new book, “The Case for God,” shows how both belief in God and belief in science can coexist in the same brain with no cognitive dissonance!

Unfortunately, she provides no video version illustrated with glib, pseudoscientific misconceptions about props like bananas. She’d do far better financially if she did.
