You can disagree all you like. The problem is actually being able to bring forth evidence to support your position.
That's where deniers and cranks seem to have an issue.
as if you as are some god among monkeys. Need I cut and paste examples?
As for the rest I won't bother
Oh, no. I know my place. You determined it. Monkey boy. If I was monkey god, you would have said so.
you are acting as if you are some god among monkeys.

Aww. OK.
I was going to go into Sagan's 'dragon in the garage' and other stuff. Oh well. I guess we were getting to close to showing the difference between religion and science.
Cheers.

IE anyone who disagrees is either a denier (inference is someone who is just trying to deny reality) or a crank.
And you have ever since you joined this thread acted like some great one of knowledge talking to inferiors.

you don't just state your views and bugger off, you tend to argue a case.

I see it this way. You point to what we think we know and say something is impossible based on what we know (you admit science can be wrong and you claim it can admit it) ignoring the margins of knowledge where the things we don't know or maybe even can't know exist, I point to those margins and say there is room for doubt either way. Then it spirals from there. That is the whole argument boiled down to its essence as far as I can see.
Science isn't wrong, our understanding of it can be. I think we proved the Earth isn't flat, nor does the whole universe orbit the Earth, nor is the Earth 6000 years old...
