Evaluate the credibility of each site listed below. Classify the site as science, pseudo-science or mixture. Explain why it is or is not a reliable source of information. List at least three reasons to support your assessment of each site by citing sentences or phrases from the site. You may cite either lack of trait or presence of a trait. For example: The statement "Either life must have originated three and one half million years ago and evolved, or it was created by a supreme being." is an example of the Either Or Fallacy because it does not allow for any intermediate possibilities. Site 1: http://www.sammilham.com/historical%20evidence.pdf Read the article on this medical hypothesis. Site 2: http://www.stevequayle.com/index.php?s=30 The author's claim is that credible evidence exists for the existence of giants. Site 3: http://wtc7.net/articles/WhyIndeed09.pdf Site 4: The link below is the main site. Read the reports and compare to site three in terms of science and pseudoscience. http://wtc.nist.gov/NCSTARl/NCSTARlAindex.htm Procedure: Go to the web sights supplied by the instructor. Read the required material. Classify each sight as scientific, pseudoscientific or a mixture. You must justify your classification by giving at least three illustrations from the sight. Scientific sights should have several of the scientific traits and none of the pseudoscience traits. Pseudoscience sights could have pseudoscience traits or lack the science traits. Generic examples of proper justification from various UFO sights. The statement "Hundreds of people reported the lights, flying in formation, over Phoenix" is a use of anecdotes and rumors. The paragraph starting: "Dr. X has authored dozens of books about Unidentified Flying Objects including (a list of several books follows) and is a recognized scientist at the Institute for-----"is looking at the person not the science The sight fails to show any hard evidence by omitting any measurable data showing that the lights were saucers not airplanes.
