Explorations in Pseudoscience, Cult Archaeology and Creationism

Claims unsupported by scientific evidence, but that claim scientific support, use science terminology, or claim scientific validity can be called pseudoscientific. When these relate to the past, they are fantastic archaeology, to use Stephen William's term, or cult archaeology, if you like John Cole's term better. When they attach religious beliefs attacking evolution or using scientific evidence to promote a religious belief in creation, they are called creationism.

The purpose of this web site it to provide non-specialists with the tools to understand and evaluate cult archaeology and related materials. The site contains numerous links to sites that both promote and debunk cult archaeology claims.

We take a broad view of what might be included here. Topics range from parapsychology to UFOs to cryptozoology to ancient astronauts and far beyond.

Let a couple of hard core scientists abduct you in their own UFO. We promise you a wild, but educational, ride. Any time you want to jump to the list of topics, jump on board the Debunk Flying Saucer by clicking on the saucer icon!
