Christ: He's Back Matraiya, Ram Bomjan Palden Dorje

It's a matter of degree. If something is 99% likely to be true (or less in many cases), we may assume that it is true.

To address your point, science does not have to "fall back" on anything. They aren't backed into a corner to disprove the miraculous, it's just that there is no real evidence. Personal anecdotes don't count, since the mind can be fooled.

So, it's not that miracles can't be proven 100%, they can't even be proven with 1% certainty.
 
And they still sell the things because Scientists are willing to testify in Court that it can't be proven that anybody ever died only from cigerette ingestion

It actually comes down to human rights for the public, and for the government - money. In England the tax on cigarettes is around 95%. A sweetshop only earns 2p for selling a pack of cigarettes while the government gets £4 for that same pack.

The fact is people need their vices. Some countries have got around to making prostitution legal, most you'll find will allow mass alcohol consumption even though it kills, and pretty much everywhere allows smoking. And yes, they do know it kills, so do the smokers - but is that justification to ban it outright?

And because they are greedy.

From New Scientist.. (yearly earnings)

Research Technician Grade C = £14,618
Postdoctoral position in cell motility, (molecular biophysics) = £26,000
Radiobiology = £22,500
Synthetic chemistry associate = £24,000
Immuno-Pharmacologist = £26,401

Compare that to a 'good' footballer.. yes, someone that can kick a pigs testicle round for 90 minutes.. £100,000 (a week, not yearly)

Science greedy? Hardly..
