Invasion of the Mindsnatchers In the United States, more people believe in UFOs than in evolution. Billions of dollars are spent on medically unproven therapies which are marketed as the passport to a 'new age' of exalted existence. CSICOP, a group of scientists which promotes scepticism towards pseudoscience and the paranormal, believes that the USA is entering a 'new dark age'.
