Reply #104: Don't confuse theory with empericism [View All]

I can't "argue" observational facts "logically".

The theory follows the observation, but the observation comes first.

I can't argue in place of evidence, I can only point to the evidence.

I don't blame you for remaining skeptical. In a way I wish I could go back to being a non-belevier too. It was so much more comfortable thinking that I knew what was and was not possible, and knowing that there were no "things that go bump in the night."

I feel a lot more uncomfortable having to live with my uncertainty. But that's the way it goes.

If you're lucky you never will encounter the evidence that shatters your world view. It's a very traumatic experience, and I'm not sure I'm better off for having had the experience. Ignorance, after all, is such bliss.
