The fact is, I don't have any reason to believe in Russell's teapot. So I don't believe it's there. But I cannot honestly say it's not there either. That's a claim: Russel's teapot is not there. If I'm going to make a claim, I need to support it. I can't do that. Therefore, if I am going to be honest concerning my claims, I will never say I know it's not there. I can say there is no reason to believe it. I can even add that it's absurd to believe a miniature teapot orbits the sun. But I can't say it's not there. That's knowledge I don't have.

Thanks. That was quite informative. I had no idea that the entirety of chiropractic "theory" is founded on nonsense. Pretty bad when people who practice and teach it want to categorize it as a religion to avoid the difficulties in its foundational principles.
