I have a broken back, (33 years ago I fell off a cliff) and used to get really frustrated because I couldn't find the information I needed for lots of particular subjects. Like help with school, transportation issues,handicapped sports groups. But now with the web, I'm having a much easier time getting the answers I'm looking for, and my goal, both with this site and a web page I'm developeing called This Ability.org is so other people will be able to readily find para-skis, and hand controls for thier car, and help with education, etc. It's a subject near and dear to my heart, and I can use all the help I can get! Thanks all, Philip drszusz May 22

Possibilianism is a philosophy which rejects both the idiosyncratic claims of traditional theism and the positions of certainty in atheism in favor of a middle, exploratory ground. The term was first defined by neuroscientist David Eagleman in relation to his book of fiction Sum . Asked whether he was an atheist or a religious person on a National Public Radio interview in February, 2009, he replied "I call myself a Possibilian: I'm open to ideas that we don't have any way of testing right now." In a subsequent interview with the New York Times, Eagleman expanded on the definition: "Our ignorance of the cosmos is too vast to commit to atheism, and yet we know too much to commit to a particular religion.
