nonscientific

/nˌɑnsaɪəntˈɪfɪk/ adj

Not scientific, or lacking scientific rigor.

Word Origin Scientific combines Latin 'scire' (to know) and '-fic' (making) — so it's knowledge-making. Nonscientific means not based on that knowledge-making process. The root 'scire' gives us science, conscious (knowing with), and omniscient (all-knowing). The non- prefix negates the scientific method.
