Just because we don't have answers to some questions, it doesn't follow that ANY sort of answer must be true. Homeopathy would still require the same sorts of evidence any other thing we should profess belief in requires, which is, well, evidence. Here's a more thorough explanation of the falsehood I think some people on this page are arguing with, "proving a negative" : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_proof @Sandra “There are many things that are not yet known about the natural world.”

Energy, in its various manifestations, is one of those stranger than fiction possibilities. Carbon-based organisms definitely appear to be bio-chemical, but does that mean that quantum physics would not apply? Check out the laws of thermodynamics, a primer on quantum physics and do a little integrated science, and you just might see that the concepts are not mutually exclusive. Life, the universe and everything is far more beautiful and complex (or simple) than it seems. (PS Beware of bias caused by discounting that which is not understood.)

I'm an engineering major and for me 'energy' is simply the amount of work that can be performed by a force...none of which are relevant to what medicines do within the human body.

Science is only now getting to that point. Homeopathy is energy medicine - sorry that some materialists can't 'get that'. With all the horrors of side effects of modern medicine, so-called 'evidence medicine' changing its evidence every day, the high cost of drugs that 'are' effective, it would be a shame to try to destroy a natural, safe, cost effective alternative at this state. Homeopathy is more than the placebo effect - otherwise it wouldn't work on babies and animals. Please stop assuming that you know how things work - you do NOT. It has helped me, my family, my friends and my clients numerous times....MORE so than conventional medicines.
