Because my position is supported by scientific fact, yours is supported by what you believe is a lack of it. I was criticizing your use of scientific fact to try to prove science wrong.

Scientists are proven wrong everyday and they will continue to be proven wrong as long as there are other scientists. You think if we had asked Mr Bell if he thought a day would ever come where everyone over the age of 14 would have a cellular phone smaller enough to fit in our pockets he'd have agreed? Motorola sure is proving him wrong, huh? Or how about if we asked Mr Franklin if we'd ever be using this electricity to communicate with people from all over the world in seconds? He'd have smacked you upside the head for suggesting something so ridiculous.

Scientists prove scientists wrong, not people who think they are scientists.

It is absurd to assume that because someone is a scientist that their conclusion is the ultimate truth.
