Engage with the supplemental material found in the Everyday Research Methods Blog post entitled, "Conspiracy Reasoning vs. Scientific Reasoning (https://www.everydayresearchmethods.com/2020/09/conspiracy-reasoning-vs-scientific-reasoning-the-case-of-q-anon.html) . Then, respond to the following:

1. Why is Harger's theory (above) about JFK Jr.'s assassination unfalsifiable?
2. How does the theory's unfalsifiable nature make it more likely that Harger can believe in QAnon?
3. Think like a scientist now and develop a falsifiable statement  derived from the theory (above) that J.F.K. Jr.'s plane crash death was an assassination. 
4. Why does QAnon's rejection of legitimate sources of information help its followers maintain their beliefs?
5. How might confirmation bias be at play in the passage above, about events that Q predicted but that never happened? 
6. Explain how confirmation bias, rather than scientific thinking (which strives to objectively evaluate evidence both for and against a theory), can explain the reasoning about who Q himself is.
