Top: Science: Anomalies_and_Alternative_Science
|
This category includes a wide range and variety of topics dealing with alternative or "out of the mainstream" science. This includes unexplained phenomena, alternate theories, strange animals or people, and many others. Try to find the single best subcategory for your site. Psychic phenomena, UFOs, ghosts, and reincarnation are related subjects that sometimes are addressed on Alternative Science websites listed in this category, but they are primarily covered in other categories. If you are submitting a site on one of these topics, consider submitting to one of the following categories, as appropriate:
Society/Paranormal/Psychic/ |
Science is constantly reshaping itself through unexpected observations, new ideas, and revisions to old theories. While terms like "anomalies" or "alternative" may seem pejorative from an orthodox perspective, from an historical view these are the topics are the very life-blood of science. We must have heretics and revolutionaries challenging our beliefs, and advancing the state of the believable, otherwise science will stagnate into dogma.

| Sites dealing with alchemy as an alternative form of, or an alternative to, chemistry should be submitted here. Anything relating primarily to health or longevity should go to an appropriate subcategory of http://dmoz.org/Health/Alternative/ . |

Please submit sites that cover unconventional scientific ideas in a discussion format. Ideally, the topics would be very general in nature or cover a varied array of scientific fields. |
Contains newsletters, newsgroups, forums, message boards, and chat rooms which discuss science topics that are not considered to be in the mainstream science studies, as of this time.For example, discussing where the "face" on Mars was built by alien beings would be a fitting subject for this category.

This category is dedicated to discussion of creationism as a position in science or theist philosophy. |
Creationism, as defined in Webster's New Universal Dictionary, is the doctrine that matter and all things were created, substantially as they now exist, by an omnipotent creator, and not gradually evolved or developed. As such it is not only a religious view and an (unorthodox) scientific doctrine, but a philosophical position about the origin of the world and life.
