“A lot of people hate my skepticism, and I think I understand why. The psychics offer wonders and endless possibilities in a world that often seems difficult and mundane. They promise health, wealth, wisdom, eternal life. But if you examine the record, it's not the psychics but the hard-nosed scientists who have actually delivered the things that improve human life. And, to me, science describes a world far more interesting than any psychic fantasy. It's a good world -- not perfect -- but it's ours. So we'd better learn to live with it, the way it is.” PeopleIfsThinkingWorldWayHumansHardSeemsHateDifficultWealthPerfectInterestingWonderFantasyRecordsPossibilityPromiseOffersEternalScientistEndlessHuman LifeSkepticismPsychicsEternal LifeMundaneNot PerfectEndless PossibilitiesHealth Wealth Author:James Randi
