Imaginary Friends

Yes, I do believe in your imaginary friend. I met him the other day riding on the unicorn. We had lunch. He has a hearty appetite.

My point was that the notion of scientific proof being the only means by which one can believe in anything -- anything -- has lead to a considerable deterioration in people's ability to believe at all.
