The Bible-Boooooring

[Ryantology]

A person who believes in magic can be a physicist and potentially make a break through in the field, regardless of the incorrect belief. The fact that he has something wrong doesn't make him wrong on all accounts. To say otherwise is to embrace ad hominem as valid.

It is highly unlikely that a person who holds a sincere belief in magic is the sort of person who is going to do anything in any physical science, though I don't doubt it happens by accident. Certainly, if they do, it is not because they base an experiment on the magic they claim to believe in.

A physicist who attempts to base their work on Biblical superstition is doomed to become an xkcd punchline.

And similarly, I can say that you don't believe in something so self-evident that it calls your competence into question. Making ad hom attacks against each other really doesn't get anywhere.

And, I can say that if you can't demonstrate the existence of something which is 'self-evident', perhaps you don't know what 'self-evident' means.
