Many confuse or equate Belief with Truth. Truth is verifiable, Belief is merely an association of events like a beating by bullies and winning the lottery on the same day. Should we then hope to get set upon by bullies to make lottery tickets winners?

From the movie Up in smoke:
" We have developed a new alcohol treatment program: the Cheech'n'chong Treatment Program. It works like this: whenever you get cravings for alcohol, you put on a ballerina's tutu and slippers, and Mickey Mouse ears, just like Cheech and Chong in the movie "Up in Smoke." Then you jump up and down on one foot, while juggling five tennis balls, and reciting Shakespeare sonnets. Continue this procedure for as long as the cravings last."

"This simple program has never been known to fail, except for a few unfortunates who are constitutionally incapable of being honest with themselves while wearing a tutu. "

In this darkest hour of our peril we can continue to have faith in lies or work finding truth through the ongoing verifiability of good science.
