Get three others to agree with you my friend and I’ll join too; we’ll get a good thing going with a creed that breeds its weight in new believers.
There is a street-corner logic of six-pack credibility stacked in its favour; makes a lot of sense after some beers and a yarn – not that we do a lot of that stuff per se.
But convincing your skeptical mates gravity doesn’t exist just because Velikovsky said so goes a long way to explaining how credibility rides on creed.
So how do we stay in place? Electromagnetism? Dunno – if gravity doesn’t exist. Does it make a difference? Not especially – meaning have another beer.
Why should we care if gravity’s gone and we’re still here; the only ‘out there’ is a beerless world. Sure, explanations come and go, but beer goes on forever. © 18 August 2007, I.D. Carswell
