As a natural scientists I am apalled that someone like you can
call himself a scientist. As a natural scientist I can tell the
difference between science, what it should be, how it should be
done, and analogical reasoning, evidence, proof, and also
drawing unwarranted conclusions from the evidence and then
being pompous enough to claim something you're not. Methinks if
you had actually done some real science you would be neither
so pompous nor so pretentious.

Do you really think I need lectures on science from someone who
doesn't even know what it is? That's like a historian saying
that science is "just a collection of facts."
is it really?
