Well, there is being open-minded, and there is having your brain falls out of it. (skeptical sayings).



Love that.

Anyway, all the advocates of pseudo-science use that can of argumentations: the science is not open-minded enough, blablablabla, there is an evil conspiration/cover-up by science for suppress/dismiss proofs of our claims, blablabla.

We're earing that from the pro-homeopathic people, from the ufologists, from the astrologists, Intelligent Design believers, the anti-vaccination lobby and so on. The list is endless...

In woo-woo land, the rule is: if you want to put up a pseudo-science claims, just claim also that science is close-minded and has a evil cover-up against it.

It's just laughable. Come on... Do you really understand what science is? I doubt it... I found your view of science kind of simplistic.
