"I have opinions about science, and I have opinions about religion. I expect to be able to develop and expostulate my opinions on either without being asked for credentials."

I'll say again, science has NOTHING to do with your uninformed opinions about it.

Sure, anyone can say, "two plus two equals five." If that's your opinion, you have every right to express it.

But NO ONE is required to respect your ignorant stupidities. And if you try to IMPOSE them on the rest of us, then expect to be more or less politely smacked down. It's what you deserve.

And even if you and your friends get together and outvote everyone else, that still can NEVER make your claim that "two plus two equals five" factually correct.

Herein lies the reason these threads will never reach any kind of accord or resolution.

When you end up attacking and insulting those who are on your own side, you've allowed emotionalism to cloud your judgment. I did not say, and you have no reason to assume, that my opinion was uninformed.

Also, I do not ask people to respect my ignorant stupidities. I ask them to gawk in stupefaction at my well-reasoned and intelligently stated stupidities.

Further, while you may have the intellectual satisfaction of being, say, innocent of a particular crime, if the evidence is against you, and your winning personality has even your own lawyer dubious about you, then you will probably be convicted anyway.

It is always prudent to keep your wits about you, and not let an angry tongue wrap itself around more than you can deal with on your own.
