Thanks for proving my point Milt, it is appreciated.
What point? All I saw was your false claim!
As you so handily demonstrate, the truth can NEVER be debunked. It can only be denied. That's all you're doing.
See ya,
Milt
I seem to recall a story about people saying the truth could never be debunked, what was it about now? Oh yes, the Earth being flat. Truth is relative. Truth is ever changing, ever expanding and therefore can be debunked when a new truth becomes the accepted version of Truth.

The myth of the Flat Earth is the modern misconception that the prevailing cosmological view during the Middle Ages saw the Earth as flat, instead of spherical.
The idea seems to have been widespread during the first half of the 20th century, so that the Members of the Historical Association in 1945 stated that:
"The idea that educated men at the time of Columbus believed that the earth was flat, and that this belief was one of the obstacles to be overcome by Columbus before he could get his project sanctioned, remains one of the hardiest errors in teaching."
During the early Middle Ages, virtually all scholars maintained the spherical viewpoint first expressed by the Ancient Greeks.
By the 14th century, belief in a flat earth among the educated was nearly nonexistent. However, the exterior of the famous triptych The Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch is a Renaissance example in which a disc-shaped earth is shown floating inside a transparent sphere.
I think you missed my point entirely that people often take belief as truth until newly discovered facts prove that truth to have been only a belief.
If you really believe that truth never changes, what the hell are you on this site for?
