The Market For Nonsense Is Infinite.

The Conjuror Or Con Man Is A Very Good Provider Of Information. He Supplies Lots Of Data, By Inference Or Direct Statement, But It's False Data. Scientists Aren't Used To That Scenario. An Electron Or A Galaxy Is Not Capricious, Nor Deceptive; But A Human Can Be Either Or Both.

No Evidence Against A Firmly-held Belief, No Matter How Good Or Abundant It May Be, Will Sway The True Believer.

Feeling Better Is Not Actually Being Better.

Blind Belief Can Be Comforting, But It Can Easily Cripple Reason And Productivity, And Stop Intellectual Progress.

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.
