Haha. Thanks.

Ok.You spend your life on endless debates,wich no one really knows the answer,because eventualy the idea that you belive in,whatever it may be will eventualy change.Until the source of all life reveals the secrets of our brain,universe and so forth,I thats right I think it is a waste of time to argue,or get offended by others points of views.If someone could explain to me in"Scientific Terms"why we only use a small percentage of our brain,and it makes sense,I will never diss science again.what if we only used a small percentage of our heart,or our skin,wouldnt we die.I belive that access to these areas were taken away from us,and that one day they will be given back.I respect everyones opinion,and accept science as a great tool for mankind to use.But answers to some things are already there,right in front of us.we just have to open up our eyes.

To me, ignorance is not always bliss.
There are many subjects about which I make the same argument you just did - God, being one of them (hence, my agnosticism) but to go through life just oblivious to present scientific knowledge, simply because you believe its “wrong,” or you assume the paradigm is going to change (even though they often do), is dangerously ignorant.
Point and counter-pointing each other’s opinions doesn’t always means “debating endlessly” or “getting offended by others’ points of view.” That’s not how adults (should) debate. If you’re self-centered enough to value your own (unfounded?) beliefs, then you should always be open to hearing contradictory information, if credible, especially on complex areas like psychology. (I argue in favor of a lot of metaphysical shit, so I disgree with a lot of "accepted" science too. Doesn't mean I should just declare that "I'm right and science is wrong, because I have some opposing views.") Beliefs should be open to evolve, just like knowledge does. The most important part of “opening your eyes” is being able to see the fact that your beliefs are not infallible. That’s whole meaning behind the metaphor.

You should take your own advice and always try to find the logic in your beliefs. That includes listening to other opinions (that you may not want to hear) and trying to understand them.
