   I'm a materialist agnostic, or an agnostic materialist. As such, I reject   
   any speculation that does not result in empirically verifiable   
   predictions.   
      
   Things that cannot be empirically verified, I treat as poetry, literature,   
   entertainment or philosophy, but as far as statements about the world,   
   those I embrace.   
      
   When it comes to statements beyond the world, expressed as _if_ they   
   belonged in this world... those I reject fully.
