Pre-Reading Blog #2

What do you think of when you see the word “pseudoscience”? How do you understand the argument between evolution and creation, as Jacoby presents it? Please end your blog with at least one good critical question.

"Pseudo" by definition in dictionary.com means:

1.	not actually but having the appearance of; pretended; false or spurious; sham.

2. almost, approaching, or trying to be

Pseudoscience means just that to me. Almost true, looks like it could be, but not quite right. The argument between evolution and creationism is always a tough one. I was born and raised in a Baptist family, and attended a private Christian school from kindergarten through 8th grade. I was raised to believe in the faith of Jesus and His teachings from the Bible. As I've grown older, and my education has expanded, I find it harder and harder to maintain that faith and believe that at one time was so strong. Jacoby, like others, point out the negative and pseudo scientific reasons that make me stop and think. It is a difficult subject for me to write on, and read about. If I was blind from birth, and told over and over again that the sky was blue, does that mean the sky is blue?
