While I have no way of knowing whether, intelligent design, evolution or out-right creation is responsible, neither do any of the others. It is all opinion

That's not true. Either you have faith and believe in one of the thousands of religions, or you deal with science. Many people actually can reconcile the two!

But when you really need to figure things out, who you gonna call? The ghost busters? A fortune teller or tarot card reader? Astrologer? Witch doctor? Shaman? The local politician? The neighbors? Divine revelation? Opinion polls?

I think you will look for the facts. What are the facts? And to how many decimal places. And that path leads to science.

I may be wrong in this, but I would not bet the rent money on the others.

Please, contemplate that thought.

Of that dreary and un-inspiring lot, at least the neighbors and opinion polls have the virtue of not directly conning you out of your money. All the others come right out and demand it. So as long as you're going to get inaccurate information, you might as well get it for free.
