For you. If I took people's word for it and took baseless assertions on faith alone, no matter how extraordinary the claim may be, I'd believe anything! And that's the path of a deluded fool.
Principles and the requirement of evidence is what allows me to separate fact from fiction. Fantasy from reality. So I can see what's true or not. Science is a method, a tool to open up the unknown and learn. With the application of testability, observation, verification. If a claim cannot be backed up in any rational way, it is useless to me.
So feel free to believe in spirits and all that shite, but I won't. I'll stick to my principles, you stick to your faith.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
