We assume the impartiality of the priests. They don't lie; they're priests! We believe them because theoretically at least we could get the same religious training and come to the same conclusions. That's what makes theology different from science.

Perhaps you should read the archives of this list. Better still, try the experiment yourself, it's trivially easy to do, many of us have done it. Then you can win the million dollars. Or not. Either way, now that we've turned science over to the priests and the magicians I don't hold much hope for advance. The Amazing K.
