Today we find physics being misused and misinterpreted in support of a wide range of paranormal and paranatural claims. In alternative medicine, we hear the terms ``energy" and ``quantum" used to suggest a scientific basis for ``energy therapies" and mind-over-matter healing. Quantum mechanics is also misinterpreted as implying the reality of purported psychic phenomena such as extrasensory perception. On the cosmic scale, a sophisticated form of the theological design argument is now being widely disseminated among some scholars and the press: the laws and constants of physics are said to be so finely tuned for the production of life as to provide strong evidence for intelligent design in the universe. However, such an interpretation is not necessitated by data or theory, in physics and cosmology.
