What is your problem with hard to believe?”— Yann Martel “Belief is indeed psychologically important for the human mind of general population, but that belief should be nicely compatible with scientific reasoning, otherwise that belief turns into prejudice, which is never beneficial to the human life.”— Abhijit Naskar
