Pseudoscience lacks the rigorous methodology and empirical validation that characterize real science, often relying on anecdotal evidence rather than systematic experimentation. While real science is open to falsification and peer review, pseudoscience tends to resist criticism and does not adapt based on new evidence. Additionally, real science seeks to build a coherent body of knowledge that evolves over time, whereas pseudoscience often relies on fixed beliefs and lacks a theoretical foundation. Ultimately, the distinction lies in the commitment to evidence-based inquiry and the scientific method.
Any magic exist in science; magic is a characteristic of pseudoscience and religion.
Nazi propaganda often used pseudoscience to make claims about the superiority of the Aryan race over others. Eugenics based on this pseudoscience was one of the atrocities that occurred in concentration camps.
Science are activities that conforms to the scientific method. A summary of the scientific method that I was taught was that you publish a paper and all your colleages try and prove you wrong! Originally, the scientific method was proposed by Ibn al-Haytham in the 10th century as the search for truth; in the scientific method truth is the most important thing. Pseudoscience are activities that purport to be scientific but don't conform to the scientific method. The following criteria have been suggested to detect pseudoscience: * Use of vague, exaggerated or untestable claims * Over-reliance on confirmation rather than refutation * Lack of openness to testing by other experts * Absence of progress * Personalization of issues * Use of misleading language Non-science are activities that don't purport to be scientific.
People may prefer religion over science because it offers a sense of meaning, purpose, and community that can be deeply fulfilling. Religion often addresses existential questions about life, morality, and the afterlife, providing comfort in times of uncertainty or crisis. Additionally, for many, faith can be a source of hope and strength that resonates on a personal level, while science, despite its empirical strengths, may not always provide the same emotional or spiritual support.

It depends who you ask.
The demarcation criterion problem, in the field of science, is about how to differentiate between real science and pseudoscience. The experience-theory gap is that experience often trumps theory, and people tend to believe what they see over what they cannot. These two subjects often work against one another.
