Where are these convincing reports?
After studying such for 45 years, I’m not the least bit in need of being convinced.
And, NO, it doesn’t have anything to do with distorted glasses and expectations reading things into headlines or the Bible. Not the least bit. Sheesh. This is not rocket science folks.
However, I may try and post a reference or two to the issue you inquired about. But mostly, you should do your own homework. You’ll believe the truth easier, then.

No, RK, I really don't expect you to look up a single reference. But some lurkers may well.
