That's an interesting story, Dave.

"I preferred to live in a world where science is king."

Yeah, a lot of people feel that way. I certainly did when I was in my youth...up until some time in my mid-20s. It was natural that I started out believing only in science, because I grew up in a non-religious, non-mystical family...and my dad was an engineer who had both feet firmly planted in the empirical worldview.

"you can't base a scientific argument on the blind faith that something cannot happen, when there is evidence that it does."

Heh! True. But the fact is, people can base ANY argument on blind faith, believe me. And they do. They just make sure not to give the evidence that does happen any of their time, their acknowledgement or their respect. They discount it, re-interpret it to fit their own established views, and scoff at it. They fall back on their pillar of blind faith.
