Science stinks!  Anyone who thinks science holds the answers is a fool.  What
about love, beauty, art, poetry?  What does science do to all the things we
hold near and dear?  It dissects them to the point where they no longer have
any resemblance to the way they were originally, thus destroying the notions
we believe in.  I say the hell with science!! No one has the right to dissect
my beliefs.  If I want to believe in lies that's my business.  Who are they to
shatter the foundations of my beliefs?

And what has science ever given this world anyway?  Weapons of war, the black
plague, hatred, venereal disease, electricity, natural disasters, religious
intolerance.  And don't go telling me it's not science or scientists who
gave us these things, that these things came from application of real
knowledge by misguided, greedy, or evil people.  You know that's not true
and no amount of "evidence" to the contrary will convince me otherwise.
I *know* the truth about science, and I'm not going to allow scientists to
change my beliefs about anything.

Why, scientists can't even prove that the notions I hold about free will,
souls, ESP, the Bermuda triangle, ghosts in my living room, or me being
the reincarnation of Isadora Duncan are false!!!  All they can say is
that my evidence isn't "verifiable", thus it can't be taken for granted
that it is the truth.  Whatever the hell "verifiable" means...



Oh, I'm sorry, I don't know why I posted this.  It must have been a result
of causality being smashed.  :-)
