Atheism is not the issue so don't go there, this is about science, not you not me.
Did you or did you not say "Science fiction does not deal in reality?"
I'LL be happy to quote you again.
Now as I have said it is used to depict "possibilities" and statements on human morality. But that is not the only place people find inspiration nor is it the only place people make claims or get ideas from.
It still does not get a pass nor is it the only place people get ideas or inspiration from.
SciFi is a source of entertainment, and some good ones do make us stop and think about stuff.... so what's your problem? Why are you claiming that SciFi is claiming to be reality?
If you are worried about being conned, then yes scientists and skeptics can be conned as well. No one has knowledge about everything nor can we test each and everything we encounter in our day to day lives. Having a skeptic and rational mind is good but going overboard with it is not.
