500BC - men draw pictures of wild animals in caves
1 month ago - mama tells me that 'bhoot-pret' exist
0AD - jesus says he is son of god

what's common in three events states? coming up....
Last year, I enjoyed company of many who are raging liberals, three steps away from being communists. These were just some good friends, who, along with me, demeaned religion, mostly organized abrahamic religions for their naiivete and gullibility and their unfounded and unscientific beliefs. We prided ourselves in acknowledging existence of facts proven by empirical evidence only. We then also berated those who were not open-minded. Little did we know, we were being utter hypocrits.

Mother listens to what I usually have to say and remarkably doesnt question me, despite the fact that much of what I say often contradicts her belief systems. So while I tells her all about the big bang and intricate gene duplication concepts of animal and plant envolution, she seems amazed and takes me word while she tells me a story about someone seeing ghosts, I laugh, call her an ignoramus and reject her ideas.

And I realize, quite gradually, that a correlation ceases to exist between liberal ideology and open mindedness.

A scientific justification could have not been found yet for what my mother says, or what Jesus would have felt or why many schizzophrenics feel the way they do

...but very possibly we could know in 20 years that the parallel universes that modern physicists consensually believe to be in existence, along with additional dimensions, sustain the dark matter(another quantum physics subject) which is somehow interpretable by these schizophrenics and those who have vivid halluciations and delusions.
Maybe these people are not disabled, but superiorly abled to read and understand things from light and sound sprectra beyong human recognition and are labeled as anomalies by the closed minded societies we have.
And what is common about the three thoings i said?
they would be called unfounded, unscientific and even delusional.
