Dear Fool, algore provides and excellent example for the dangers of never having studied science of any kind, and then pretending that you have a clue. I’ve found that many offering their opinion as fact on this forum have had the least amount of training in any scientific discipline. They find something on the internet that fits with, and supports, their belief(s) and then run with it. They do this because they never took the time to obtain the knowledge necessary for differentiating legitimate science from junk. As a result, junk marches on.

If FreeRepublic has done nothing else in the scientific arena, it has exposed ideology masquerading as science. This new “science” resists examination, refuses debate, and paints its questioners as Luddites who long for a return to the Dark Ages.

Here’s a popular quote you might wish to adopt, as it’ll probably come in handy whenever the ignorant question your authoritative declarations:

“The science is settled. The debate is over.”
