Voo-Doo science

And Yet another Headline: Astronomers Believe They May Have Found Earth-Like Planet

Highlights of this story:

  • "may have"
  • "very likely"
  • "strong possibility"
  • "could be"

When you read the above linked story each time you see one of those phrases listed above, add the following to the end of each one: "but we're really not quite sure."

Do you remember the NASA mars rock debacle? Of course you don't ... it was effectively and quietly swept under the rug unlike when they had hyped it up as true evidence of life on mars.

From global warming to repeated false hope hypothisis of "life" on other worlds bad science thrives on the ignorance of the public that accept their wild claims as the truth.
