I'm not talking about Real Science, I'm talking about all that other Crap.
Dr. Dean, Oprah, Frijof Capra, "Quantum Anything", Homeopathy, Chiropracty, Osteopathy, Phrenology, Holistic Medicine, "Free Energy", Velikovsky, Acupuncture, Chi, "Tantric Anything", Krishnamurti, Goat Glands, Objectivism, Audio Subjectivism, Christian Science, https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/image...X_PSuTiaeG, E Meters, Crystal Energy, Rolfing, Copper Bands, Silver Bands, Magnetic Bands, Marching Bands, and Little Liver Pills.
I, unfortunately, have a lot more.
All of these, um, Beliefs, have at one time or another, claimed to be derived from Science or Technology, or have claimed that Science and Technology have since proven them correct.
Well, I'm not really sure about Marching Bands, but just consider the Sousaphone.
Science is hard. It's perhaps the hardest hard that we have. But any Crackpot can grab some scrap of justification from "Popular Science", or Fox, to make a Prophet.
