I don't know about the rest of the folks here, but I suspect several will
agree with me....
I don't 'believe' in too many things in the sense that the word is often
used.  Belief is for when there is no evidence.  I accept evidence, and I
accept theories and hypotheses in the scientific sense.  I believe in
reason, logic, and the interesting way that mathematics maps onto the
consensual universe.  Everything else is evidence, probability, and logic.
Your 'personal experience' means less than nothing to me unless you can
back it up with objective evidence.  MY personal experiences do not include
the same sort of thing, apparently.
