I or anyone can have simple, complex, stupid, naiive questions about subjects like these, and if we don't 'understand' or god forbid (no pun intended) re-question using nothing more than simple logic, then we are often faced with the usual ignorance. (never a straight answer).
Now I like to think I have an open mind and I am no better than the next person, but this IS a discussion, (albiet it can be seen as a grinding), but are you ever wrong?

I welcome questions from anyone with sincere intent, however there are plenty of those who only ask to ridicule. Those people I have no time for. If someone has a genuine interest then I'll answer to the best of my ability. Am I ever wrong? Of course I am, I'm only human. But I have my beliefs which make most sense to me and the more someone tries to remove me from them, the closer I get. I can take questions from someone who wants to learn more but from those who seek to debunk and criticise - go and find someone else.

Sorry, did you miss the part where I said "I
believe it's fact"?

You must have me mistaken for someone else. I accept much of what science claims, the difference being when science says "It can't be because we can't prove it" I'm willing to look a little further.

You
really need to stop posting things like that as if you know me. I don't demand anything of the sort from science.

Assumptions based on previous discussions and PMs from you. If I thought your motives were genuine then I'd happily discuss anything with you.
