"Be the change that you want to see in the world."  M. K. Gandhi "

*** The cornerstone of science is “Falsifiability.” If you haven’t tried to show that an idea is false, then you know nothing about whether it is true.***  If you don’t make Falsifiable predictions, then what you are doing is not science.  Demonizing those who try to prove an idea wrong is likely an attempt to hide something.  There is a difference between science and religion.
