I tutored Physics in college and have been working at Intel designing microprocessors for the last 20 years.

We deal with Physics problems every day.

Do I believe there is life on other planets outside of our solar system...sure it would be illogical to not think so.

Science is based on creating a theory and then submitting it for review to be examined for flaws.

If we are to confront people like Al Gore with the requirement to place his book under a peer review, we must also requre it of others who we might support.

I LOVE SciFi (ie my handle) but I refuse to let my love distract me from questioning and asking “why”.

Asking why is reasonable.

Seeking a maximum amount of proof is reasonable.

Denying the validity of thousands of cases of expert testimony is not reasonable.

Denying the validity of thousands of cases of scientific study of tangible hard evidence is not reasonable.

Bending so far over backwards to avoid a TYPE I ERROR that one is obsessively, compulsively sucking the tit of a TYPE II ERROR 24/7 is NOT REASONABLE.
