What the hell is with people's disbelief of science in this country

[RKP5637]

125. I think you're on track with what others have said. It's a pretty hollow road

for many if they believe this is it, a flicker of life, and then nothing for eternity. They need it to move forward in life, to avoid utter depression, to at minimal try to accomplish something in life. Hence, it seems for almost all societies there have been belief systems in something greater than mankind. Hence, religion and all that goes with it, and also the charlatans that fleece the flocks.

I have a background in the physical and social sciences. I've come to accept over the years that this is it, there is no more, death is death. What keeps me going is an innate excitement about what the next day will bring, but I have no rosy view of a heaven and all of that. To me, when I die, that's it, end of the show.

That all said, I do have a view, advanced, of folded space, time warps, all of that and the fact energy continues on forever, and this leads me to think of multidimensional space ... and a bunch of stuff. That I can think about, but not the standard fare of the belief of an afterlife.
