"I can feel nothing but compassion for those who sincerely lament their doubt, who regard it as the ultimate misfortune, and who, sparing no effort to escape from it, make their search their principal and most serious business."
(Blaise Pascal)
I have not verified whether Blaise Pascal's quote in 2PhiloVoid's signature is rightly attributed, but assuming it is, I'd like to pose a question.
What is more honest, an assurance based on unverifiable, unfalsifiable or otherwise fallacious suppositions, or a search for truth and remaining in doubt until a verifiable, falsifiable and/or otherwise scientifically sound answer is obtained?
