My summary of science-based thinking is: question claims; demand objective evidence; think critically (in that order). Unfortunately, even scientists frequently misuse the scientific method. The link below presents the details involved with scientific research and how it can be in error either through mistake or conscious fraud:
Pitfalls in Research: Why Studies Are More Often Wrong than Right
Human knowledge has progressed exponentially since the dawn of modern science. It is no longer reasonable to accept claims without sufficient objective evidence. The harm from religion, alternatives to medicine, conservatism, and all other false beliefs will be exposed on this blog by reporting the findings of science. This blog will also reinforce what should be the basics of education: History, Civics, Financial Literacy, Media Literacy, and Critical/Science Based Thinking.
