B.
I am absolutely for the furtherance of human knowledge.
I was raised in a religious household, which was part of a religious extended family. My parents were both preachers before they married. I don't hate them for it -- it's just the way it was -- but I did get to learn from a young age just what kind of bullshit it all is.
It's also why I don't think science has all the answers yet. Lots of folks who have eschewed religion take up science as their new faith... but it's misplaced. Science, to me, is a process of learning, and separating truth from myth. A true scientist realizes that we will never have all the answers.
I have been very blessed in this life -- this time around, anyway -- with a keen yearning for knowledge and desire for truth, among many other things. My late father taught me to share truth with others, even if they don't immediately -- or ever -- accept it.
So... if showing my boobs on the internet advances the cause of science, who am I to argue? I am but a link in a chain....
