Pseudoscience

Pseudoscience is theory or speculation presented as science without providing evidence or any sort of explanation which can be checked.
For example, Uri Geller claims to be able to bend spoons without applying pressure to them, but he can't do it in front of scientists or journalists.
Principles of Pseudoscientific Endeavors
In modern examples, most often pseudoscience intends to create the appearance of a reasonable factual disagreement were no such disagreement actually exists in the scientific community. For example, Global Warming, a dogmatic liberal principle, must not be questioned in scientific circles. This leads to the label of pseudoscience when some of its core values are not allowed to be called into question.
