    What exactly is your point or do you not have one? A scientist makes an observation, he gets published, people read it and then some make it out to be fact. What is the news in that? This is what he thinks he observed. Is the world still flat for you or does someone you already trust need to explain to you the earth is round and the solar system doesn't revolve around it?

    And you perfectly illustrate my point. Keep up the good work.

          Even the flat-earthers (assuming there actually are any) will tend to have a better grasp of reason ... and of 'science' ... than you "science" worshippers can ever hope to attain. But then, your sort doesn't hope, or desire, to reason properly

            If I'm not, then can you prove what reasoning properly is? If you can't than opinion and conjecture is the only reasoning you have.

              Yes, little Gillian lives in a land where ignorance is knowledge and stupidity is reason. And I suppose her lobotomy scar is a badge of distinction. Sets her apart as one if the intelligentsia, it does. :laugh: :laugh:

                        There is something background to that post that I can, in a weird and extra-natural way, agree with.
