Scientific skepticism involves the application of skeptical philosophy, critical-thinking skills, and knowledge of science and its methods to empirical claims, while remaining agnostic or neutral to non-empirical claims (except those that directly impact the practice of science).
Scientific Skepticism is one of the Centre for Inquiry Canada (CFIC)’s core areas of focus, as described in our Strategic Plan.
Check out our “Is it Science” Campaign launched in May 2019.
