So, the real question is not your faith in science but your selective attitude toward believing what science tells you.

To answer that you're going to have to look at your own motivations because I guarantee you will NOT find it in the science you mock.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
