    If your belief system is not founded in an objective reality, you should not be making decisions that affect other people.

        .@neiltyson Nobody's belief system is founded in objective reality. The best we can manage is to strive for rigorous intellectual honesty.

        If your belief system is based on the limited knowledge of man's "objective reality" then you are likely a eugenist or a liar. @neiltyson

        @AFederalFarmer @ChrisLoesch @neiltyson science is supposed to be supported by evidence. Today, "scientists" have faith in their theories.

        @halr9000 @neiltyson Think a little deeper, @deepthoughts10. The point isn't whose beliefs are true, the point is about deciding for others.

        @neiltyson To split a philosophical hair though, what reality do we have that is objective? Everything is mediated by our subjective senses.
