Conrad: mousethief- what would they say about you....I am sure they think they are equally correct. You dont change anything by telling someone that their position should not exist.

I didn't tell him his position should not exist (whatever that means) but that it was wrong. And you have to tell people they're wrong -- that's how progress is made in all science and history.

The RCC didn't kill a single scientist. (Plenty of Protestants, alas.) Many people don't know this. If they assert otherwise, they are wrong. It is possible to be wrong, Conrad, however much you might wish it were not so.
