Death Is The Ultimate Disappointment

Science Is Best Defined As A Careful, Disciplined, Logical Search For Knowledge About Any And All Aspects Of The Universe, Obtained By Examination Of The Best Available Evidence And Always Subject To Correction And Improvement Upon Discovery Of Better Evidence. What's Left Is Magic. And It Doesn't Work.

Religion Is Based Upon Blind Faith Supported By No Evidence. Science Is Based Upon Confidence That Results From Evidence - And That Confidence Can Be Modified And/or Reversed By Further Observations And Experimentation. Science Approaches Truth, Closer And Closer, By Hard Dedicated Work. Religion Already Has It All Decided, And It's In The Book. It's Dogma, Unchangeable, And Unaffected By Reality And Whatever Facts We Come Upon In The Real World.

However, I Believe That It Would Be Difficult To Have Legitimate Scientists Agree To Participate.

A Lot Of People Hate My Skepticism, And I Think I Understand Why. The Psychics Offer Wonders And Endless Possibilities In A World That Often Seems Difficult And Mundane. They Promise Health, Wealth, Wisdom, Eternal Life. But If You Examine The Record, It's Not The Psychics But The Hard-nosed Scientists Who Have Actually Delivered The Things That Improve Human Life. And, To Me, Science Describes A World Far More Interesting Than Any Psychic Fantasy. It's A Good World -- Not Perfect -- But It's Ours. So We'd Better Learn To Live With It, The Way It Is.

Feeling Better Is Not Actually Being Better.
