You say that like that makes it good form or critical form in conversation or that you are going at me on an individual point basis. I even have sources (for example, doesn't that undermine HeLa cells). Do you expect people in every disagreeable encounter to see someone objecting to their claim and be like "yeah, uhm, I'll just phrase everything as a question towards myself/others now and go into disciple mode". I've been forced to do a suspicious amount of that here.
If I was taking your approach, I'd point at you and say "lizard people believer". In all of my time watching politics, I can't remember a single time it escalated so much that someone on TV said "that Republican probably believes the Earth is flat", as they for one don't go that far. Must I clarify all my beliefs in existence before questioning someone or something so that people don't point at me during a debate about, say, which way the toilet paper goes, and say "she probably believes chocolate milk comes from chocolate cows"?
Sorry, I don't have time to read anymore of your comments. Many here have tried to teach you basic science and you refuse to learn. It's been entertaining.
...as opposed to what, considering "many here" and "it's been entertaining" ignores a certain person who pointed and used a flat earth strawman?
