The Anti-Aspartame, Anti-Vaccines, Anti-GMOs, Global Climate Change, Deniers, and Creationists Are the Enemies of Science and the FutureScience is the pursuit of explanation for how things happen. It creates testable hypotheses and designs experiments to test the validity of the hypotheses. It draws conclusions based in experimental results.
Junk science is the creation of "facts" based on selection of observations that fit pre-formed conclusions. It is this kind of junk that is used by those with an agenda to mislead or by some who do not understand real science but are grasping for explanations. When this junk is spread by posts and emails it can harm others who are not knowledgeable enough to judge the validity of the information.
In the next several posts. I will give examples of how junk science hurts humanity.
