If you have some other method that can reliability test the truth of a proposition and can make future predictions, I would love to hear it. If you aren't using the natural world and it's physical laws to determine truth, what are you using ?

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups

Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!

I'd like to use science more to back up my core beliefs. Once I figure out what those are. I think it's a good tool since it usually involves testing and changing its position based on new evidence. Something I think I do myself as I can always be won over by a good argument backed in basic truth and evidence.
