If you guys are that sure you are right, then why get so defensive.? What is wrong with encouraging people to check out what they hear, and ask questions, whether about “the beginning, politics etc”
What’s defensive about stating the truth?
I didn’t call you names.
Please explain to me what I said that was defensive.
People can check out whatever they want. They’re even free to create their alternate reality with leprachauns, gnomes, or whatever. I have a younger brother that believes in that crap.
Is it defensive to assert that science doesn’t support the concept of gnomes?
Say you asked “Why did this nation become a Democracy?” and I pointed out that we are not a Democracy, and Democracy was anathema to our founders; would you assume I was against you asking questions, or that I had specific problems with the specifics of the question?
Your statement that this was ‘just a theory’ shows that you have little concept of what a theory actually is. That you object to this being portrayed as ‘fact’ you show that you do not understand that theories are ABOVE facts in the hierarchy of Scientific Explanation.
It was as if we were talking about the conduct of a lieutenant and you came along and said “you know he is just a Colonel don't you?”; you would be elevating the subject without cause in an attempt to discredit the subject by applying a term that denotes MORE confidence.
