Editorial Policy
The Editorial Policy of Cosmophobia.org

Purpose

The purpose of cosmophobia.org is to discuss and refute incorrect claims made about the cosmos, especially those claims that rise to the level of 'fear mongering'1. Sites or individuals that promote an unreasoning fear of the cosmos by casting normal astronomical events or new scientific achievements as things to be feared will be the primary focus of this site. As such it will frequently quote material found on other websites or in other sources under the 'fair-use' exception of the U.S. Copyright code for commentary and criticism. Please address any copyright claims to the site administrator by using the contact form.
