Spirit "Science" is a fairly popular Youtube channel with around 800,000 subscribers. The channel was started by a man named Jordan, a person who could be completely be summed up with the phrase, "I'm spiritual, but not religious." Jordan's main series on his channel, called Spirit Science, is really just a large collection of pseudo-scientific claims made up by two men, Druvalo Melchizedek and David Icke. Druvalo is known for his claim that Thoth, an ancient Egyptian god, has talked to him. David Icke is known for thinking that anyone who has any sort of power is a Lizard alien from the bottom of the 3rd Dimension.
"Like, holy fuck mate, I just watched a video called, Spirit "Science". Holy fuck, I think my brain just died."

A misnomer for an aerospace engineering.
Brain surgery huh? It's not exactly rocket science is it?

Science Fiction is an adventure, mystery, drama (heck, any genere) that has some basis in a scientific fact or wild theory (faster that light space travel is a great example). The level of research, or reality towards the science determines what kind of science fiction it is. For example, Star Wars uses a few facts (or crazy theories if you prefer), such as the idea of FTL travel through "hyperspace"; but since it's all pretty improbable, star wars type stuff is considered "space opera". Just unplug your analytical mind and watch the pretty lightsabers.
If the science is sound and well-researched, like some of Ben Bova's (one example, there are many other authors) writing, than it's considered "hard" science fiction and calls on a broad knowledge base of popular science. Knowing a little bit about the physics or chemistry (or history sometimes) helps you appreciate and enjoy this kind of science fiction.
Star Wars, Star Trek, Battlefield Earth (the book) = "light" science fiction, space opera
Robert Heinlein's future history (Methuselah's Children), Ben Bova's Jupiter, or Asteroid Wars, Frank Herbert's Dune (a little fantastical, but the ecological background is neat)
= "hard" sci-fi

University Degree available from Australia's University Of Technology, Sydney (UTS). Student's can major in;
1. Weed philosophy and theory.
2. Bong Physics.
3. Agriculture and Cultivation.
4. Cooking.
This is a fake degree eluding to the fact that you know your cannibus very very well.
Dude1: "Do you smoke up?"
Dude2: "Do I smoke up? Hah, I got my post-doctorate doctorate in weed science. I'm majoring in Astro-Bong Physics and they are sending me to the moon to see how a bong works in space."

n. A fundamentalist Christian outreach concept, in which the intent is to "debunk" science with the word of scripture. Its most vocal adherents are southern and mid-western U.S. evangelical protestants (see Bible Thumper.) Creation "scientists" try to convince "unsaved" people that the Earth was formed in a Creation that took place at the hands of Almighty God a few thousand years ago, and hope their evidence will convert a few of these "unsaved" people to the faith.
Some key tenets of Creation Science:
--Scientists (the real ones) are going to Hell, where they will burn forever for blasphemy of the Holy Word of God.
--"Evolution" is a scam to trick us into believing that wholesome, white Christians have common ancestry with apes and chimps and (oh no, please no...) black people! Evolution is the Devil's Theory (yes, it is just a theory).
--Hell is real, full of sulfur, and it exists in the center of the Earth. (Most persons on Earth will be summarily cast into this Lake of Fire when we pass away.)
Unfortunately, unlike real scientists, Creation Scientists face a non-existent job market. Most find work in blue-collar manufacturing jobs, or else provide for their families by huntin' sqwirls, 'coons and o-possum. Their hobbies range from watching NASCAR, to whippin' the kids, to attending Klan and CCC rallies. Prrrraise Jesus!
Question: How old is this part of the Grand Canyon?
Scientist: This formation is about five million years old, according to our best uranium-lead dating...
Creation Scientist: Them there canyon ain't no more 'n' maybe 4000 years ole,' and if you done believe otherwise, you're a Hellbound sinner, praise the Lord! Now please op'n' all yawl's Bibles to Genesis, Chapter Six and let us remind ourselves of the word of God...

Skeptical Science is a website that says to fight climate change skepticism and climate change denial, but nowadays it is a website that promotes neopositivism, militant atheism, militant scientism, militant debunkism and militant skepticism; it believes that conspiracy theories cannot happen despite the number of conspiracy theories that turned out to be true; it believes that all alleged fallacies are always fallacious despite that often alleged fallacies are not fallacious at all, but rather reasonable heuristics and the first step to deal with a complex problem, and it also often use of the own fallacies they claim people actually use in order to attack anyone who disagrees with neopositivism and militant atheism, and also calling anyone who disagrees with neopositivism and militant atheism "antiscience" and "denialist". Overall, it is basically a non-Wiki version of RationalWiki focused on fighting climate change skepticism and climate change denial, this website should change its name to "Skeptical Scientism" or "Skeptical Militant Scientism" to fit better what this website is actually about.
Skeptical Science is just like RationalWiki in form of a website focused on fighting climate change skepticism and climate change denial.

A female scientist of extreme intelligence, wit and beauty.
The science nerds were drooling over the science goddesses at the convention.
