For Your Consideration:
Sleeping With Extraterrestrials: The Rise of Irrationalism and Perils of Piety, by Wendy Kaminer
"How can you distinguish science from junk? Science posits hypothesis and tests them. Pseudoscience assumes conclusions and finds evidence to back then up. . . . If you somehow lead (junk science users) to admit their research is flawed, you will never get them to question their conclusions. Stripped of all evidence, their beliefs will persist. You can tell that people are relying on junk science, when they're not really relying on it at all."
