Frank, you said "I know of no legitimate scientists that have a rock-like faith in anything."

Fine. I am not complaining about legitimate scientists! I am complaining about ordinary armchair idle computer key tappers from the general public who happen to be on this forum, who are not professional scientists, and who yet have an unfounded faith in the scientific status quo and seem to regard it as gospel, and think it explains everything. They are the ones who strike me as having a rock-like faith in their assumptions.

I don't know any legitimate scientists, and I doubt that I have heard from any yet on this forum. (I may have heard from one or two. Perhaps Wolfgang is a legitimate scientist.)

I am also talking about some people who may have have some unfortunate childhood experiences with organized religion, and have since set themselves on a course where they automatically attack and disparage anything mystical or "unusual" that they think might possibly have anything to do with something like religion, and they blame religion for most of the world's ills. As such, they are fanatics...they are as bad as religious fanatics, as deeply prejudiced and unreasonable, and they should get that monkey off their shoulders.


Mrrzy - "if it can't be duplicated, and it isn't physical, measurable, or empirical, then it isn't data."

Fine. I don't give a hoot if it isn't data! I don't care. There are a lot of things I am interested in that will probably never be data, and I am not trying to prove them to anyone.
