Where god fails, science succeeds

[Confusious]

101. I guess you could call it a trap

If you believed in faries and unicorns. They would be the only people upset by the sceintific method, 'empiricism' and 'controlled rationalism.'

You prove real by testing. If it's reproducible, then it's real. Most woo doesn't rise to the occasion. Faith healing, auras, homeopathy, goblins, ghosts, etc...

Basically, what you represent to me is a return to superstition. Superstition is what you can't prove through the scientific method, 'empiricism' and 'controlled rationalism.'

Superstition worked out so well before didn't it? Why not go back?

Ps. But of course your woo is the REAL woo, all the others are fake woo!

If you can't prove it, how do we know it's different then believing in witches, goblins or ghosts?

You don't believe in those things do you?

Maybe you only believe in witches and goblins, or goblins and ghosts or witches and ghosts.

But if you can't prove it, how are any of the three different?

Science, empirical evidence, and controlled rationalism has cured diseases which plagued mankind since we set foot on this earth, it's sent a man to the moon, a robot to mars, allowed me to live past 30.

Superstition, those things we can't prove through science, empirical evidence and controlled rationalism hasn't benefited us any where near as much. Maybe a few cool buildings.

I'll stick with science, empirical evidence and controlled rationalism over superstition.
