Science and Pseudoscience

Science and pseudoscience are two subjects that continually clash and collide with each other. Many people try to use science to explain pseudoscience, when really there isn't any scientific evidence behind pseudoscience. Subjects such as palm reading, horoscopes, and other psychic capabilities try to prove that there is substantial scientific evidence behind their predictions but there is not. Many people are falling for this "false science" and therefore the masters of psuedoscience are able to use their "abilities" to make money. The psychics, palm readers, and horoscopes are big money makers today. Many people rely on and spend a lot of money on psychic advice and horoscopes. It seems to me the main thing is always be skeptical about what you are told and what you read.

Science uses experimentation and methodology to explain and prove why or how something happens. Behind any theory or law there is scientific evidence to back it up. This scientific evidence must be documented and anyone must be able to recreate the experiment and obtain the same results. The goal behind science is always to have a better understanding of the universe and the beings in it. In science there is always something new to discover and scientific knowledge is constantly expanding. With psuedoscience this is not true. The goals that drive psuedoscience are usually cultural, idealogical, or commercial, and this field has not grown or expanded since it was first instituted.

I think that science and psuedoscience walk on a very thin line between each other. It is easy for people to claim that psuedoscience is science because they are so close to each other. We all are faced with psuedoscience and must learn how to identify it. I have just heard about a man that claims he is pregnant on the news, and it's in debat whether this is real science or psuedoscience. It turns out that he is truly pregnant, but he was born a woman and had a sex change later in life. So technically in this case it's a little bit of psuedoscience with science because someone actually born male cannot bare a child, but with today's technology someone technically a male can have a child. What do you think about that?
