About This Tool

Science is not always convinced, and questions such as climate change and vaccine safety are increasingly being questioned. Skeptics have formed groups to protest researchers in a variety of ways. Skepticism is supposed to be an important part of science, but it can also be confusing if misused. There are about 66 such professional and organized mass skeptics, and a detailed list is compiled in this random tool.

These groups come from different countries, have been created at different times, and have different constituencies. With this generator list, we can also find the full name of the organization, when it was created, where it came from, and what it does. Persuading skeptics is a difficult task. Skeptics have a deep distrust of authority that, even with detailed and accurate scientific data, can not erase. But researchers still need to come forward and debate skeptics in a variety of ways.

Click the "Display All Items" button and you will get a list of skeptical organizations.
