I believe...in theory

           There are lots of "believers" out there. In the scientific community there are probably the most believers.

       Why do I say this? Well because most of the scientific articles or interviews start with "I believe" or "we believe".

     I believe that the Earth is not flat"

    "We believe that man descended from a common ancestor with modern apes"

    "We believe that global warming will lead to catastrophic environmental changes."

           

     A simple way of proving that a theorem is true, is to prove that the reverse theorem is false (absurd).

     For example: "The Earth is flat".

     An easy theorem to prove false (absurd), nowadays LOL.

     I wonder how many theories I believe can be proven (or disproven) using this method. I guess I will have to find out one by one.

LAW OF ATTRACTION

    NETFLIX...got to admit that it's pretty addictive. You just keep browsing and browsing, until you stumble upon something, watch it for 5 min, than browse again. I saw this "documentary" on Youtube a while back called "The Secret", thought it was some propaganda thing, got bored after I found out what the secret was 10 seconds. Than I saw it again on Netflix. I watched it for 10-15 minutes, also got bored. (Oh, full disclosure, "the secret" is the so called law of attraction).

   So basically this law of attraction is a manifestation of one's thoughts. It is a basic principle of a movement called.... New Thought. In short, if you think hard about something, the universe will respond and help you materialise that thought. So I thought hard about the one thing we all desire...money.  I kid you not, the next day I received the biggest bonus from my company in the 10 years I have been working there. I bevelieve now, I believe.

  Jokes aside the bonus was real, and I did think about money, like really focusing all my thoughts on a dollar bill. So it got me thinking. What if prayers work in the same way. 

  Basically prayers are just focused thoughts. Focusing on only one thought is a very hard thing to do. We see many people saying that they prayed and had their prayers answered. The only question is: who exactly answered those prayers, what if they were the ones that answered their own prayers.
