If I didn't say it before in a post on this thread, I'll say it now. I try to be open-minded and, honestly, I am on this subject.
I made the O.P. I've been thinking about how consistent that I am. I realized that I don't have a similar issue with science fiction (I don't read it, however), even though much of what is written in the books or portrayed in other media is not science. It may be someday, but right now is it's not. I wonder, "why the disparity in my thinking? Am I being inconsistent?"
Speaking of which, it's interesting that so much of the science fiction of, say, Jules Vernes' day, is now a reality. Isn't that interesting? And it makes you wonder how much of the science fiction today, that seems so far fetched or even impossible, may one day be really true!
While I'm thinking about it, the title of this thread was intended to be provocative and melodramatic (probably from my educational background in advertising and promotion and the years that I've spent writing advertising copy), to get attention. I've never felt as strongly as the title might have suggested.
