I only pseudobelieve in pseudoscience.
Because the media says it’s settled.
Because they can’t fit in with anybody else. I watched a documentary (OK, I could only stomach half of it) about the Flat-Earthers. Ever seen footage of their conference? It’s like the bar scene from Star Wars. They’re 40 year olds that live in their mothers’ basements and have odd-sided dice rolling around on the floorboards of their cars. I’m sure a good percentage of them have asked a girl to marry them on the jumbo-tron at a sporting event and got rejected.
There’s always that 5% that will believe anything. 5% of everything is huge and it’s the same 5% that are VERY vocal, low-IQ people typically are. That’s why YouTube is so infected with 9-11 truther and contrail BS.
On what basis does any sentient being accept a given proposition as true?
I don’t believe in anything having to do with a flat earth,I only believe that our earth may have considerably less mass and less gravity at some points.
Most of my bs theories have to do with the very distant past,not the present state of the world.
Also I do believe in Underground Oceans at the Center of the Earth,but it is stuff we can’t really measure or observe.
I still remember the scientific claim there were CANALS on Mars, and submerged cities off the coast of Peru.
How things suddenly change and the old claims are covered up so fast you now have to dig to find them, and even then, people will not believe such claims were ever made in the first place.

Well, considering that the author can’t even accurately describe creationism I suspect the remainder of the article is equally farcical so I shan’t bother to read it.
No creationist scientist that I know of claims that God created the world with pre-existing fossils. The existence of fossils in and of themselves is not evidence for evolution or an old earth. I have no idea what "rings in trees" refers to. Does he mean that is evidence for millions of years?
Some people do think that God created "light on the way" from distant stars, but they aren't necessarily scientists. Evos tend not to distinguish creationist scientists from creationists with no scientific background (wonder why that is). Creationist scientists generally reject "light on the way".
Speaking of theories that are non-falsifiable, the theory of evolution is exhibit A for that. It has lots of ad hoc modifications needed to explain all sorts of unexpected things. A defining characteristic of pseudo science is ad hoc modifications.
People believe in whatever reinforces their already-held concepts. That’s why the Left desperately wants to continue to control education.
You see, you are in disharmony.
The throat is the gateway to the lung.
Tonsillitis, adenoiditis, is, in Chinese medical
terms, an invasion of heat and wind.
Good courses in, and close reading of mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, geology and the Bible.
“Some pseudosciences are inherently non-falsifiable. A good example would be so-called Scientific Creationism.”
Or evolution, for that matter.
There is a huge market for pseudoscience and woo.
That ostensibly legitimate science is now pseudoscientific is not a good thing.
An article with a transparently preconceived purpose and conclusion.
Seeing is believing. I have seen it.
Partly because those who teach are trained in pseudo education departments.
Because science has been so corrupted that people have lost faith in that.
