But I still fail to see why, as someone who values science, you feel the need to delve into the non-scientific sub-forums that are completely separate to what sub-forums interest you on this site, to complain about non-scientific content being posted in the non-scientific sub-forums. No one is forcing you to read those threads or discussions, let alone participate in them.
I don't complain about what anyone believes, including religious beliefs.
But when those same people post their IMHO, nonsense, and at the same time deride science, I'll try and show them the error of their ways.
Kitt believes in God...My Mrs is a true Christian in the true sense of the word.
Kitt does not substitute his beliefs for scenarios such as for example, "a Universe from nothing" My Mrs condones my agnostic type nature, [although she says she does pray for me] and carries on her way without my interference.
I only delve into the fringe, to try and correct errors [remembering I do it from a position of a lay person which I have never hidden]
I also believe certain parties post threads to do there best to rile the science nerds amongst us. The worst most blatant one of them I believe was MR's thread basically claiming science does not, nor has not benefitted mankind.
Do you believe that sort of nonsense and shit stirring should go unquestioned?
The behaviour of some on both sides of this argument is tantamount to a form of religious fundamentalism and the demand that all conform to your way of thinking or belief or face continued abuse and insults and harassment. How, exactly, is that acceptable? For all the way in which people say it isn't the content that is the issue, it is clear that for many, it is the very subject matter in those sub-forums.
That's actually contradictory Bells imho. Remember a scientific theory is always a work in progress. That is what science is built on...that is the foundation stone.
When people make claims about UFO's and Aliens performing medical procedures, all mostly are in out of the way places, with no evidence other then word of mouth, or some hazy photograph. You know wthis yourself, as you have applied the blow torch yourself to those claims.
In essence Bells, it boils down to the fact as to whether anti science, supernatural, and Alien claims and similar should be made to run the gauntlet.
Darwin's evolutionary theory of life certainly had to run that gauntlet before its acceptance.
Anyway, I'm off! Gotta cook tea before my vivacious wife gets home from work.
