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.
