Um I hate to be pedantic but when you write something like
"the bulk of credible, established scientific evidence suggests otherwise"
shouldn't it be referenced? I know some people are pretty relaxed about referencing but the above sentence quotes the science directly
"the bulk of credible, established scientific evidence suggests otherwise (ref, ref, ref, ref, ref)"
some references are in the provided links, i was too lazy to make cites for them all lol... also, I go by what I'm taught in school, which is based on established science. its rare that I get worked up enough to dig through my textbooks, find & link all the different references.
