Science is not fiction. This is not an opinion. Long posts do not always lead to the truth. RTG has demonstrated his ignorance about many things, on many occasions in this forum. The same may be said for you. My opinion of RTG is not based on any bias. It is based on my experience in reading his posts, some of which defy understanding. You, on the other hand write such long-winded posts, in the tradition of Bill, that I usually scroll through them without reading, as experience tells me what they will say, and that I will disagree with you. If this is unsatisfactory to you, you are free to scroll through mine, as well. It has no effect on me; if you are unhappy with me, I don't care. This is not a popularity contest.
Jimi, Everything spoken is an opinion of the one speaking it. Validity of the opinion is revealed based upon many factors but all statements are indeed opinion. I agree that length of the post doesn't translate to truth nor does one word of short sentences. All of the post, as with all of your post are Opinion, you should know and realize that.
My long post are to hopefully an attempt to reveal reasoning behind the statements or beliefs I hold. I'm not unhappy with you Jimi as I don't know you. I am wondering why so often you choose to use such short terse demeaning comments yet spend so little explaining why you accept science with such unchallenged faith and allegiance. At times you reveal a thinking rational individual and other times your post could be one that one could hear repeated on any elementary school playground. I don't know if you are trying to be a troll or just obtuse.
By saying that everything is an opinion, it sounds like you don't believe in facts. IF that is true, then anyone can say anything and it will have equal validity with anything else that someone else says. Can you not see how crazy this would be? There is a reason why you will never see a sane person ask, "Do you be believe in gravity?", or "Do you believe in electricity?". The answer to either of those questions, if the answer comes from a sane person, will not be an opinion. If I tell you that gravity exists, and you deny it, you are a fool. Science is not opinion. You can call it anything you want but that will not make your opposing view anything other than a foolish statement. If you deny Evolution by Natural Selection, which is also Darwinian Evolution, then you must be either ignorant or a fool. You are not allowed to have opinions that are contrary to established fact and not be judged a fool by educated people. If you believe that every statement is an opinion, then you are indeed a fool.
