The market for nonsense is infinite.

I can go into a lab and fool the rear ends off any group of scientists.

A lot of people hate my skepticism, and I think I understand why. The psychics offer wonders and endless possibilities in a world that often seems difficult and mundane. They promise health, wealth, wisdom, eternal life. But if you examine the record, it's not the psychics but the hard-nosed scientists who have actually delivered the things that improve human life. And, to me, science describes a world far more interesting than any psychic fantasy. It's a good world -- not perfect -- but it's ours. So we'd better learn to live with it, the way it is.

Blind belief can be comforting, but it can easily cripple reason and productivity, and stop intellectual progress.

No evidence against a firmly-held belief, no matter how good or abundant it may be, will sway the true believer.

However, I believe that it would be difficult to have legitimate scientists agree to participate.

Feeling better is not actually being better.
