Our purpose here at RationalWiki includes:

1. Analyzing and refuting pseudoscience and the anti-science movement;

4. Analysis and criticism of how these subjects are handled in the media.

We welcome contributors, and encourage those who disagree with us to register and engage in constructive dialogue.
