Death Is The Ultimate Disappointment

Science Is Best Defined As A Careful, Disciplined, Logical Search For Knowledge About Any And All Aspects Of The Universe, Obtained By Examination Of The Best Available Evidence And Always Subject To Correction And Improvement Upon Discovery Of Better Evidence. What's Left Is Magic. And It Doesn't Work.

No Matter How Smart Or Well-educated You Are, You Can Be Deceived.

A Lot Of People Hate My Skepticism, And I Think I Understand Why. The Psychics Offer Wonders And Endless Possibilities In A World That Often Seems Difficult And Mundane. They Promise Health, Wealth, Wisdom, Eternal Life. But If You Examine The Record, It's Not The Psychics But The Hard-nosed Scientists Who Have Actually Delivered The Things That Improve Human Life. And, To Me, Science Describes A World Far More Interesting Than Any Psychic Fantasy. It's A Good World -- Not Perfect -- But It's Ours. So We'd Better Learn To Live With It, The Way It Is.

No Evidence Against A Firmly-held Belief, No Matter How Good Or Abundant It May Be, Will Sway The True Believer.

Science Is A Search For Basic Truths About The Universe, A Search Which Develops Statements That Appear To Describe How The Universe Works, But Which Are Subject To Correction, Revision, Adjustment, Or Even Outright Rejection, Upon The Presentation Of Better Or Conflicting Evidence.
