One Big Error, or, is only seeing believing?

By Pablo Fanque, National Affairs Editor

Maybe the one big error we all make is to not believe what we haven't seen; this runs from the mites that live on our eyelashes all the way up to old God himself (and everything in between). But seeing is not everything. We do--many of us, anyway--believe in things we can't see...like love.

Sure, we've seen these mites in photographs, but that's quite different from, say, anytime you blink, seeing a herd of cooties skittering from eyelash to eyelash. Photographic evidence of God is quite scarce.

One bit of good news on the eyelash front is that mites are so efficient that they eat but have no "exit system" or, in short, they are not dropping a deuce in your eye.
