...and stuff it... with straw.

You are the one who introduced this so called 'self-evident' BS, not I, or anyone else posting in this thread so far.

I'll hang my hat on the description of reality that relies on a recursive observe-hypothesize-test-measure-report-adjust-observe-hypothesize-test-measure-report-adjust-observe etc. method known as 'science', and leave the unicorns, crackers-to-flesh magic for others.

Science doesn't ever claim that the current understanding we have is the last, final and never-ending word for what we call reality, again, the last, final and never-ending word BS is for the magic-users.

The magic-users said people were infested with demons, and would flog them until they were cured (or dead).

We now have a scientific discipline known as neurology and now know it's just epilepsy, and have treatments that don't rely on cruel methods with poor results.

Why don't you check out this thread
