People always seem to assume that only the stuff they can see is real. I understand perfectly well how they feel, but they could still be wrong about it. Who sees everything? And who sees everything that they DO see with perfect clarity? I know I don't. I doubt that the scientific community...or the religious community...do either. The world will always contain mysteries which are beyond grasp or proof, but CAN be experienced.

There will always be real stuff out there that no one can prove empirically to anyone else. The fact that there is also plenty of stuff in people's heads that's entirely false does not necessarily invalidate ALL the various stuff that YOU can't prove yet (assuming you happen to be one of those who delights in being "realistic" and skeptical about most things you consider "unscientific" or unusual).

Still, you can have fun annoying other people by trying to discredit everything you can't prove, I suppose...

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: most people would far rather be "right" than be happy.
