Why question science? Better to question translations of fairy stories.

In reality, you are relying on commentary of historians in your stance. I am by any definition a scientist. I may not think of myself as such these days but the research, the doctorate etc puts my take on scientific claims at the level of the historian not the sad old man dragging it out of context. Further up this thread, Steve Shaw gives an excellent definition of scientific research. It isn't the same as a newspaper editor asking a hack for a serialised take on war that fits their readership profile.

That's why.

You really are weird. Your logic is that because I doubt the objectiveness of a political journalist who writes a history book or two, I shouldn't agree with scientific research?

When I first came across you I thought you were literate and could tie your own shoelaces. Ok, you wore your agenda on your sleeve and was a bit right wing. No problem till you started insulting people's intelligence to push your outlook on life.

Quick! Look! Over there! That's a straw that is.   If you are quick enough you can grasp it.
