Given that many people all over the world believe many contradictory things, what is the most humane thing to do in the face of such uncertainty? (Using the typical definition of humane.) Would it not be, absent any real ability to prove the supernatural, that we honor and respect all that we can about other life forms- regardless of what they believe- acknowledging that all or none or some could have a truth, but that it is impossible to know that. One need not believe in any supernatural power to do that- one needs no religious tradition to come to that- one does need to know the word "humane" or something like it, or some idea like it- and one needs to want to have an idea to live with. I think that is all.
