The alternative, stigweard? Well, we all have to simply wait for whatever it is that will convince us on an individual basis...and we have to wait, of course, for the empirical evidence.

I've seen enough evidence by now to convince me, but you haven't, and that's okay. I don't have a problem with that. I am just as eager to see the irrefutable empirical evidence as you are, I assure you. I yearn for it. I really hope that before I die such undeniable empirical evidence will be seen by the whole world...but it may not be.

There are a lot of things like that which I hope for.
