Will they market Thalidomide as a prenatal wonder drug again?
(Please answer this. There's a very good reason for asking.)
LOLIf they discover that it has beneficial effects before they discover that it has harmful effects, perhaps.
What, may I ask, is your reason for asking?
Like drugs, tobacco and alcohol?
(Science to the rescue.)

Exactly.So? The fact people are protective of it does not mean that it is true.
People can hold falsehoods very dear. People can be brought together by falsehoods.
Oh, really? Pascal's wager? That's a terrible argument.
Can you really disprove Zeus? Of course you can't. So maybe you better worship him, just in case! Now do you see how bad that argument is?
True. So we should go with what science can show. We should go with what can be tested, repeated and verified. That is, we should go with science.
As I said truth is truth, regardless of a person's perceptions. Our perceptions are often very limited.You seem to be under the impression that a person's idea about reality is the same as reality itself. It is not.
What if you're wrong? What if there is a God? Can science really disprove God's existence?
Then we're wrong.
Does that trouble you at all? (Just an honest question)
No.
Why would it? (Just an honest question)
Well, because if God is real and you deny His existence, then that will have devastating consequences.
If I walk out of my house and a meteorite falls on my head, then that will have devastating consequences as well. Should I worry about that, too?
Of which I would take into account, if I had to find another church.All of which have been used in religious rituals.
They that don't know the past are condemned to repeat it, aren't they?They will when they stop listening to the scientists and start listening to the marketing executives again... so, yes, inevitably.

People can hold falsehoods very dear. People can be brought together by falsehoods. Just ask the Heaven's Gate cult members.
HOWEVER, due to their efforts, we now can enjoy their byproducts.
Slinkies, yo-yos, Gumby, Silly Putty, and who knows what all else?
Well, I wasn't speaking of things that may happen in this life. No, I wouldn't say you should worry about anything and everything that could go wrong. Although I will admit that I do struggle with this, mostly due to my anxiety disorder. I try to remember Jesus' words regarding not worrying about everyday life.
And that's a wise decision... one I choose to follow regarding the next life.
I'm not worried about the next life either, although sometimes I do struggle in my faith, I try to remember that it's not about me and that I can't save myself, so I need to trust God.
