Do you really think i respect you enough to tell me what to believe, think or assume?...you've taught me nothing except there are people more pompous than i am...What makes you worthy to even attempt judgement on me, are you so wise to judge my ignorance, comparing it to your limited life experience? You are just a person on the otherside of the computer expressing an opinion...nothing more...how am i maintaining anything other than my opinion from personal experience and observation?
How are scientist facing reality for me?

Do i need my realities defined, are you suggesting that some men in white coats know what's better for my life than i do, i should follow them blindly as other follow prophets and priests? I follow no person who has not given me a just reason to do so.
Until it's a personal request a person is only doing it for themselves, whatever they gain from it...some scientist discover and explore to see if they can, see what is out there, expanding the world for those willing to learn...some genuinly want to help life, other's are the "i told you so now publish me and make me famous"...i respect the scientist who wants to see if they can, discover something not yet known...i admire those who wish to help the world, doing more for others than themselves.
Is it really that important to know if a soul exists or not, how much time, money, resources and whatever else consumed him in proving something that has been already grasped, and what does it achieve in the end? Aren't there better quests for knowledge and intelligence?...science does a lot of good for the world, and it's a noble proffession, but modern scientists aren't always noble of deed...or reason.
how much did hitler and his scientists discover?
i think it's your ignorance to assume i do not value the contributions science has made for improving the quality of life...what is he trying to do? I guess he can work with those who clone life to make sure they all have a soul...

will that make a lab rat a human?
