I need to bring in a "pseudoscience" to class tomorrow.
Would bringing in a wooden cross get me in trouble?

Yes, because religion doesn't qualify as even pseudoscience.

Get something remotely plausible like homeopathy.

Science Class - EmuAlert - 2009-08-23

Kicked out of the school trouble? No. Make a lot of people hate you trouble? Yes.

Make something representative of Intelligent Design. More "sciencey"

Science Class - ThatWasMyKil - 2009-08-24

there are some interesting topics

Yes, it would (at least, in my school you can't attack any religions~)

I'd fashion the cross into a hammer-like object if I could, and call it representative of retrophrenology.

You'd get pineappled up good sir. And it would be by these guys:

Attacking is very different than saying "this is bullshit".

go for astrology
too many people still believe that pomegranate, and it's easy to prove absolutely wrong because it makes predictions unlike religion Goggleemoticon

I find this to be very interesting:

"Pâté de Foie Gras is a science fiction short story by Isaac Asimov which was first published in the September 1956 issue of Astounding Science Fiction about the discovery on a farm in Texas of a mutant goose that is able to lay golden eggs because it has a liver capable of producing nuclear reactions."

But astrology is fun, religion is work Frown

And astrology doesn't give you the ultimatum Believe me or I will hurt you. Which nearly every relegion does. (Our religion has the true savior and his principles! Believe me or rot in hell/eternal damnation!@@@)

Also most kids are athiests(Or believe they are) and would probably either

A) Agree
B) Laugh about it.

Teacher really can't do more than tell you to stop considering (at least in my rulebook) doesn't really ostrisize the religion. Goggleemoticon

you can't prove them to be a pseudoscience though, because they don't make any hard and fast predicitons. jesus is coming back some time, you won't see anything in the bible saying exactly when though.
astrology on the other hand, makes the astrologer give predictions as to when and what exactly will happen, so it's easy to prove as a steaming pile that only a rube would believe in.

I would be fairly offended if somebody in my class did that, and i'm not even that religious.

I never argued either. All I said was one was less serious and more fun than the other Tongue

But by all means I agree.

Astrology is just as vague. "You have a talent for music... but it needs refining." How many people have started an instrument and suck at it? :|
