“By definition”, I begin
“Alternative Medicine”, I continue
“Has either not been proved to work,
Or been proved not to work.
You know what they call “alternative medicine”
That’s been proved to work?
Medicine.”
“Science adjusts its beliefs based on what’s observed
Faith is the denial of observation so that Belief can be
preserved.
If you show me
That, say, homeopathy works,
Then I will change my mind
I’ll spin on a fucking dime
I’ll be embarrassed as hell,
But I will run through the streets yelling
It’s a miracle! Take physics and bin it!
Water has memory!
And while it’s memory of a long lost drop of onion juice is
Infinite
It somehow forgets all the poo it’s had in it!”
Excerpted from “Storm”, by Tim Minchin.
