The evidence for my assertions are the thread itself. I don't expect anyone to read such a long thread but peruse it or just read the last dozen pages and you will see what is there and draw your own conclusion and opinion. I stated mine.

In many cases, it is not a presumption that certain commentators know what they're talking about. It is established fact through prior discussion and, sometimes, knowledge of the person's profession. If someone who works in aerospace tells you that your idea on that subject is wrong, it gives a stronger presumption that your idea actually is wrong. There are other people where that isn't true--you shouldn't take my word about science as gospel, for starters! However, there are also times when the OP's ignorance is so apparent that even I know it--and have since elementary school.

To me, science and logic are gospel! In fact it has been my life, spending maybe 25 years working in aerospace and all of my adult life studying and writing theory.
To me theories are just theories and need to be at sometime proven, such as the world is round, the sun is the center of the solar system, heat is based upon molecular/ atomic vibration, atomic fusion and nuclear synthesis -- just a few of many more "proven" theories.
Until that time all theories should be continuously analyzed and criticized by both advocates and opponents, in my opinion.
