Mousethief: some people think the only truths are those that can be proven scientifically

Name one, Alex. I for instance hold many things to be true (like sport results, who was American president 10 years ago) without any scientific study about them.

Such an opinion would be extremely stupid that is undefendable in my eyes. Science isn't but an extremely useful method to test statements about the world. And in several respects it is superior to other methods of knowledge gathering. That is when other methods and science battle on the same field, the other methods often lose.

Thanks a lot for the citation.
