Science stinks! Anyone who thinks science holds the answers is a fool. What about love, beauty, art, poetry? What does science do to all the things we hold near and dear? It dissects them to the point where they no longer have any resemblance to the way they were originally, thus destroying the notions we believe in. I say the hell with science!! No one has the right to dissect my beliefs. If I want to believe in lies that's my business. Who are they to shatter the foundations of my beliefs? And what has science ever given this world anyway? Weapons of war, the black plague, hatred, venereal disease, electricity, natural disasters, religious intolerance. And don't go telling me it's not science or scientists who gave us these things, that these things came from application of real knowledge by misguided, greedy, or evil people. You know that's not true and no amount of "evidence" to the contrary will convince me otherwise. I *know* the truth about science, and I'm not going to allow scientists to change my beliefs about anything. Why, scientists can't even prove that the notions I hold about free will, souls, ESP, the Bermuda triangle, ghosts in my living room, or me being the reincarnation of Isadora Duncan are false!!! All they can say is that my evidence isn't "verifiable", thus it can't be taken for granted that it is the truth. Whatever the hell "verifiable" means... Oh, I'm sorry, I don't know why I posted this. It must have been a result of causality being smashed. :-) -- "to be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best night and day to make you like everybody else means to fight the hardest battle any human being can fight and never stop fighting." - e. e. cummings Rich Rosen ihnp4!pyuxd!rlr
