Science today is like a horse with blinders on. It’s been so restricted to such a narrow part of existence, that it gives a warped view of reality.

While the conclusions reached within that framework may work within that framework, they’re totally useless when brought into an undistorted wider reality. And they’re incapable of answering the questions that mean the most to humanity, yet science is being treated like the end all and be all of existence. The greatest insult that can be bestowed on it’s opponents is that of ignorance. If science is all that there is and all that has any validity, then what a purposeless existence.

How pathetic to be trapped into such a mindset.

You’re getting warmer.

Pathetic?

You can have magic, superstition, wishful thinking, divine revelation, old wives tales, folklore, what the stars foretell and what the neighbors think, omens, public opinion, astromancy, spells, ouija boards, anecdotes, tarot cards, sorcery, seances, black cats, table tipping, witch doctors, crystals and crystal balls, numerology, divination, "miracles," palm reading, the unguessable verdict of history, tea leaves, new age mumbo-jumbo, hoodoo, voodoo, and the rest of the other un-natural phenomena.

I'll take science any day.
