It's almost like Scientists, even with dedicating their lives to research, can be wrong.

Would you have sided with the majority of the Mathematics community who have "dedicated their life to submitting work to peer review" in the 19th century when they were trying to force Cantor out of academia for his creation of the "evil and nonintellectual" Set Theory, which contradicted what they had known about Maths at that time?

Obviously they can be wrong, and you can prove that by submitting real research, not by vacuously dismissing it as false without doing the legwork which Cantor did.

Ironically the same can be said about your dismissal of religious knowledge as guesswork. I bet you didn't prove it wrong submitting real research, just vacuously dismissed it like the guy before you.

I just have faith that gp is correct.... that is all that is really needed right? \s

Yeah, this is real science, not that religious stuff /s
