Quote:Yeah, there's no difference at all between basing your arguments on the beliefs of qualified trained professionals (or thousands upon thousands of qualified trained professionals, in the case of the subject under discussion) versus basing your beliefs on things you want to believe but are not at all qualified to talk about.
The fact that you agree with someone who isn't a guy on the internet is fundamentally meaningless.
The idea that some people know more than other people, and that science that takes years or decades to research cannot be easily grasped and debunked by some random layman, why, that's just fundamentally meaningless.
Because sure as hell we don't live in a world where ignorant laymen presume they know more than people who've studied, researched and worked in a field; because if we did, there'd be places where creationism was taught in schools, and that would be just plain silly.
