Which science majors have the fewest conservatives?

thanks for enlightening me, guys.

now i know, that “when deciding what assumptions to take i just pick the ones i like the most”. i have secretly liked the idea that santa exists. i now shall assume that santa exists, and therefore can validly conclude that santa exists. doing this is just as ‘valid’ as assuming god exists who dictated absolute morality.

now i also know that “electricity & the age of the earth are only facts once you have a few assumptions.” science is based on just another assumption, and “electricity only exists as defined by science”. thus electricity may not actually exist, but i will continue to use it to type away on this computer… which only exists “as defined by science” too.

and i also know that an independent, absolute morality needs not be supported with evidence. if you assume it exists, it’s ‘valid’ to conclude there is one.

finally, i now know that “science has explained things adequately based on the criteria of science, no more.” there is nothing we can know without assuming, and therefore we cannot know Absolute Fact, if there is any. a mere human such as i cannot know as absolute ‘fact’ that if i jump off the world trade center and land headfirst on the concrete pavement i would die—that is just conclusions by physics and biology which are based on assumptions.

meanwhile, i will consult my horoscope which i have also assumed to be true (since it has been trusted by people for thousands of years, and has explained things adequately as defined by astrology) and proceed to watch Dr Mehmet Oz on Oprah and listen to his ideas on Reiki, Energy Healing—which, according to science, is complete bollocks—but are actually not provably wrong, and only dismissed by the close-mindedness of scientific people that conclude astrology, life energy, ESP, and other things not supported by evidence do not exist.

i will be looking forward to get presents from santa on christmas, who will be working by the hands of my parents to give me presents.

thank you guys.
