 |  |  | Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal: Encyclopedia II - Scientific skepticism - CriticismNaturally, many targets of skeptical criticism are themselves critical of scientific skepticism. These and other critics may claim that scientific skeptics are biased and rigid in their analysis, use propaganda techniques like ridicule and mere assertion of fact, and do not actually use the scientific method to support their arguments.
Self-described skeptics almost always favor established, consensus science and normally would reject any claim to the status of skeptic by anyone indulging in paranormal or supernatural beliefs, though ...

 |  |  | Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal: Encyclopedia II - Secular humanism - Modern and historical referencesThe term secularism was created in 1846 by George Jacob Holyoake in order to describe "a form of opinion which concerns itself only with questions, the issues of which can be tested by the experience of this life."
The earliest documented use of the phrase "secular humanism" was in the United States Supreme Court case Torcaso v. Watkins. In the 1961 decision, Justice Hugo Black commented in a footnote, "Among religions in this country which do not teach what would generally be considered a belief in the existence of God are Bud ...

 |  |  | Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal: Encyclopedia II - Parapsychology - How science views the fieldIn the scientific disciplines there is a belief that all claims should be treated with scientific skepticism. Mainstream science believes that after examining psi claims for over a century, there has been significant difficulty in merging the results of parapsychology studies with other fields of science. A growing network of scientists — in association with the Institute of Noetic Sciences, which was founded by American Astronaut, Dr. Edgar Mitchell — is seeking to bridge t ...

 |  |  | Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal: Encyclopedia II - Secular humanism - Secular humanism todayWhile secular humanist organizations are found in all parts of the earth, the largest humanist organisation in the world (relative to population) is Norway's Human-Etisk Forbund [2], which had over 69,000 members out of a population of around 4.6 million in 2004 [3]. This popularity is partly attributable to a unique set of Church-State relations.
In certain areas of the world, secular humanism finds itself in conflict with religious fundamentalism, especially over the issue of the separation of church and state. Many secular humanist ...

 |  |  | Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal: Encyclopedia II - Scientific skepticism - Perceived dangers of pseudoscienceSkepticism is an approach to strange or unusual claims where doubt is preferred to belief, given a lack of conclusive evidence. This is a personal principle -- it does not, on the surface, imply that skeptics should attempt to convert other people to their beliefs. The question is often asked: what is the danger of "magical thinking" and pseudoscience? It may be silly to believe in UFOs and psychic powers, but why not tolerate those beliefs? What harm do they do?
The Ancient Greek philosopher Plato believed that to release another per ...

 |  |  | Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal: Encyclopedia II - Scientific skepticism - CharacteristicsLike a scientist, a scientific skeptic aims to decide claims based on verifiability and falsifiability rather than accepting claims on faith or relying on unfalsifiable categories. Claims that such skeptics focus on are generally those they personally consider to be seemingly outrageous, dubious and/or clearly contradictory to generally accepted science. This distinguishes the scientific skeptic from the professional scientist, who often concentrates her or his enquiry on verifying or falsifying hypoth ...

Ufology - The Extraterrestrial Hypothesis.
The Extraterrestrial Hypothesis (ETH) theorizes that some UFO sightings are alien spacecraft. See separate article.
