Same here. I'd go for the "both" option. :mrgreen:
Once again, the only sensible approach is tentatively to reject the dragon hypothesis, to be open to future physical data, and to wonder what the cause might be that so many apparently sane and sober people share the same strange delusion

let me tell you aristotle was more of a biologist than physicist, second, sagan and the rest of us are biological agents, so no your reasoning is flawed.


I wasn't talking about the scientific disciplines, and which came first. I was talking about the natural processes, so no my reasoning is not flawed.

I still can't really decide though, but wanted to vote for someone.

It is like asking to choose between your 2 fathers in a loving, gay household! :(
Science is the worst form of inquiry into reality, except all the others that have been tried.
Religion = Mass Stockholm Syndrome.
