What Do You Believe Even If You Can't Prove It?

Posted by timothy on from the that-she-is-out-there dept.

An anonymous reader writes "That's what online magazine The Edge - the World Question Center asked over 120 scientists, futurists, and other interesting minds. Their answers are sometimes short and to the point (Bruce Sterling: 'We're in for climatic mayhem'), often long and involved; they cover everything from the existence of God to the nature of black holes. What do you believe, even though you can't prove it?"

    I believe that AIDS is man made although I cannot prove it. IMO, South African scientists worked with American military scientists on developing and testing AIDS. In America it was tested on homosexuals, in Africa it was tested on black women.

    We know for a fact that South Africa had nuclear weapons... the Americans probably helped them gain that technology too. We also know that AIDS affects blacks more than whites and that at one time SA was really trying to reduce the population of blacks for political reasons.

    Too much circumstantial evidence for me.
