Proposal for a pseudoscience forum

Proposal for a pseudoscience forum
I propose that a forum be created for the discussion of pseudoscience such as the following; creationism (in all it's various forms), astrology, Quantum mysticism, phrenology, parapsychology, Naturopathy and so forth. Also that any pseudoscience threads that have been already been created be moved into this forum, particularly if they are in the various science forums.

Anyone who makes a thread that isn't about mocking any of those will put it into the 'actual science' forums.

We should create a "Skepticism and Pseudoscience" forum, I think it's a good idea.

Not at all, the decision is ultimately up to the people who run this site.

That's the equivalent of putting bibles in the fiction section of the library Big Grin I like it Great

The science section.
We could discuss the pseudo science in a scientific way (maybe)

Umm, it might just be me, but do 'Skepticism and Pseudoscience' go together? If they do, can someone explain this to me. Huh

Edit: Ok, so its because pseudoscience hasen't any scientific basis, thus causing people to be skeptical.

Ideal piece of pseudo science here.
