Reliably. As Asimov put it many years ago, in "Foundation" (exact fidelity of quote not guaranteed...): ...for it is a characteristic of the religion of science that it works, and its curses really are deadly... Sounds like as good a reason as any for adopting a religion. (And much better than the reasons usually advanced...) Most religions claim to have the inside scoop on how the universe works; Secular Humanism is the only one that not only claims to know but can prove it, by getting real results.
