If you ignore the mechanics of any system it's impossible to prove or disprove. Believe what you want, nature is observable and rational therefore proof of it's existence!

I don't deny anorexia as being a disease! I just point out that we don't fully understand the human mind. There could be no definitive mental illness for all we know!

"We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here." - Richard Dawkins
