You can't always simply just look at evidence. For instance how do you prove, or find evidence that spirituality does not exist?
On a side note, natural medicine that works is simply called medicine.
In science theories and assertions are based on evidence, physical or theoretical, which is rational, generally/from experience being 'open minded' is not. For instance if I told you homeopathy was better than penicillin for treating bacterial infection, or even that homeopathy works at all...
Often it's not that they've made an effort to impose their unfounded/disproven ideas on me, it's more the other way round but they won't subside to reason.
It's a shame natural selection is predicated on ability or procreate, not intelligence.
Why do others think I should be more "open minded".
I'm often told I should be more "open minded", often in regards to things such as natural medicine or spirituality. Personally I think "open mindedness" is completely irrational, and those who are, are a blight on humanity that need to be...
so I get
−1≤cos(\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{x}})≤1
−x^{2}≤x^{2}cos(\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{x}})≤x^{2}
so as x -> 0 bounds -> 0, so the limit is 0.
however wolfram alpha tells me otherwise...
Homework Statement
