Every theory is to be believed without question or reason.

Skepticism is to be met with mockery, & labels such as Denier or stupid hick.

Believe, just Believe!!!

Um...no? Science is peer reviewed, contains evidence and is constantly tested.

Do you seriously think people just come up with hypothesis and everyone just nods their head in agreement? I know a lot of engineers/scientists/generally smart people and they are CONSTANTLY trying to prove each other wrong.

And I think you may be using theory wrong.... do you know the difference between layman theory and scientific theory?

NOt really, but a scientific theory only becomes a theory when there is a mountain of proof behind it.

When such skepticism is backed by faulty science, yes.

Sigh... not even ten posts into the thread and already the ad hominem "you aren't educated", "you can't speak the language", "you don't understand the basics of science" card is pulled out.

It must be very difficult for some of these people to reason when they base so much of what they write on assumptions.
