This still applies today
The mining and exploration companies, whether they are Chinese or American or German or British, do think that I know more than other people such as student Engineers playing on the NY stock market.
I do know a lot more about about the shale gas in the Karoo than someone claiming to be studying Engineering in America. I've been working on it for years. You haven't.
I don't know much about anything else.

Yes, you have been very, very rude. One example.

Evolutionists on the other hand seem to have just created this theory without conclusive evidence. Their only objective seems to be to discredit religion.
That's very, very rude towards those thousands of Biologists who are Christians and accept evolutionary theory.

Yes, it is possible that gravity will stop working the way it has been working for the last 14 billion years. Tonight. Anything is possible. There's no scientific evidence that it can happen, though.

So, you basically don't like your world view being shaken, nor stirred.

Re: Inconclusive not absolute
Indeed. One difference, though. I personally go to a certified and experienced heart specialist instead of going to some some random quack on the interwebs to check how my heart is doing.
Opinions are like anuses. Everyone's got one.
The relevant specialists are rare.

Re: What point?
I'm not sure what point you're trying to convey here.
The message I got from you is that you're studying some kind of Engineering at a College also teaching you about Biology.
It doesn't make any sense.
