On my Facebook page recently, I posted a link supporting my opinion that personal experience is not evidence The push-back on this statement was significant. Many had a flexible definition of the term evidence which included personal experience. Following is a clarification of these two terms.
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.
