Take for instance, this wild irrational assumption that eveything written down in the Bible or koran or the Vedas as absolutely accurate and true, and then trying to fit empirical reality into that world-view even if it has major contradictions with Science.
That IMO is pseudo-scientific. I was listening to a lecture by Dhyananda Saraswati swamigal in India. He made a devastating remark, " A scripture that does not follow logic is not a scripture at all, One must pass a stricture on it." --- On Tue, 10/27/09, WillyTex <willy...@yahoo.com> wrote: Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Spiritism v Spiritual Date: Tuesday, October 27, 2009, 7:24 AM The scientific method takes as its basis the empirical, repeatable observations of the physical world. The scientific method refers to a means of acquiring knowledge. The pseudoscientific method takes as its basis the supernatural, observations of the spirtual or spirit world. The fundamental principle of spiritism, is a belief in the existence of spirits.
