:If you think the term "pseudoscience" reflects a "sensistive tone" then I suggest telling a scientist that his work is "pseudoscience".  I would also suggest that the scientific method was invented by Francis Bacon who likely believed in creationism.  [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 19:20, 9 March 2007 (EST)conservative

:: Bacon's was a creationist - one quote of his is "I had rather believe all the fables in the legends and the Talmud and the Alcoran, than that this universal frame is without a mind".  He also encouraged experimentation and the use of induction to discover more about the world.  Unfortunately, Francis Bacon died a century before the voyage of HMS Beagle and thus had no observations to the contrary.  Can you suggest an alternate name for what to call something that calls itself science without using the scientific method? --[[User:Mtur|Mtur]] 19:36, 9 March 2007 (EST)
