With regard to claims about Life, The Universe, and Everything, I am an Apistevist, this means, basically, that I follow a few, very simple rules to weed out woo in my life.

1. Lex Parsimoniae (AKA Occam's Razor) - In the absence of compelling, testable evidence to the contrary, the most parsimonious explanation for something, the one that involves the fewest steps and least complexity, should be assumed to be correct.

2. Nullia in Verbis (nothing by word) - Any claim that is made just on the word of someone, or on the word of an anonymous person or group (e.g.: "Scientists say..." ), in the absence of evidence to support it, has no value for understanding.

3. Sagan's Law - Positive claims require positive evidence; Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. The further from the Null hypothesis, or the Parsimonious answer a claim is, the more evidence it requires.

4. Hitchens' Razor - That which is asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence. This follows from the first 4 principles.

Using these principles, I called BS on an article of woo 3 days ago, and, after spending that time showing why it was BS, the poster blocked me on Facebook.
