A miserable little pile of options! Obviously Simon Belmont is the only vampire hunter worth mentioning.

I agree wholeheartedly with everything you say except for one thing - "truth is irrelevant in dealing with reality". Truth is certainly relevant in dealing with reality for those who believe there is such a thing as truth while letting authorities like scientists, priests or politicians monopolize that truth. Human error can never be removed from any equation (unless absolute truth is discovered), but hopefully it can be decreased to such an extent that it no longer represents a threat to us.

This may be OT, but I sincerely agree with parent. Science makes no claim on truth, science is a conceptual paradigm used to create tools. Reality does not need these tools to function - humans need the tools to relate to reality. As long as the standard model, upon which most nature science is built, remains incomplete there is no plausible support for a 1:1 correspondence between scientific explanatory frameworks and the inner workings of nature. We are already crossing the boundaries of human logic when proposing that a subatomic particle can assume several opposing states at once. Science in general and mathematics in particular are arts of reasoning. While they have proven to deliver enormous advancements in technology and welfare, they are not to be mistaken for truth.

Brilliant. :-D

While not having two hearts like a time lord, she demonstrated that humans can indeed carry great depths of warmth and wisdom. RIP Elisabeth Sladen.

You do realize the problem of defining a creator using the reference frames of a being ("where", "sitting") inside said creator's creation?

There are no guarantees our laws of physics will still be applicable in the next five seconds. So if you assume science is effective in predicting certain events, there is always a "faith" part involved.

Great to hear that you too learned something! :) I learned many things that do not translate to words.

...he hasn't played Psychonauts by Tim Schafer. It is absolutely masterful in its depiction of humanity. While maintaining an amusing cartoonish style, it touches on the most difficult and painful parts of life. Like art, it teaches us something about life that cannot be taught in any other way.

That may be the result of context priming. I also read "Unicorns" and my glasses are perfect.

I propose we send commander Boston Low, Dr. Ludger Brink and Maggie Robbins to investigate this.
