And as for "not in evidence"- I'd rather have Truth than musings of labcoats that can't get laid.

As to the first part of your statement, how do you verify the "Truth" is what it says it is? Or, do you simply accept it as is?

As to the second part of your statement, it's obvious the contempt in which you hold folks that work in the scientific disciplines. It is natural for those of limited intellect to hate and be distrustful of those who show themselves to be smarter, more successful or more capable. Hence the popularity of "soak the wealthy" tax schemes and the time-honored physical abuse of "nerds."

"It is natural for those of limited intellect to hate and be distrustful of those who show themselves to be smarter, more successful or more capable"

That's laughable. You don't even know that I qualify for Mensa, and that Rotary International has asked me aboard based on one chance face-to-face meeting in a parking lot.

Maybe it's that I have more PRACTICAL knowledge instead of dreaming about physical anomolies and the like.

'Hence the popularity of "soak the wealthy" tax schemes and the time-honored physical abuse of "nerds."'

Two things here: I was one of those "nerds" and yet I hold as much contempt for arrogant football players as I do for intellectual wanna-bes.

and

The abuse of "nerds" should be taken as a way of letting the nerd know they need to get associated with the real world. They either take the hint and interact with others, or they lock themselves up and have wet dreams about Stephen Hawking.

Socrates once noted that the only way to finding the Truth is through interaction with others, not in simply one's own mind.
