Why what? No, wait, don't answer that - that's for the philosophy class discussion, not the science discussion.

You completely missed my gentle sarcasm.
A simple example of trying to use logic or scientific proof with some people, is that they have experienced something that science has no answer for in a book, and therefore to them, it is real.
There are Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, and other South Americans that will look you right in the face as serious as the day is bright, and tell you that the Chupacabra (Goat Sucker) is a real thing. Whether or not there is any scientific evidence is useless to them. Their evidence is the cow drained of blood with no evidence of a fight. Lack of evidence to the faithful is proof of evidence to the contrary.
I 100% agree with YOU. But our arguments do not hold true with someone who doesn't think that way.
