> I know exactly nothing about this guy. I'm the person who asked for a name.

I know that and I’m just commenting his claim; I’m not attacking you in any way.

[DoreenMichele → hk__2]

Okay, for the record, you are officially an antibeleiver who thinks simply asking the question and investigating it and trying to answer it makes one a nutter.

For the record, I hate this out-of-hand dismissal of anyone who asks "What if..." about anything outside the current Overton Window.

He just said he wasn't attacking you personally, but the fact that it's flying over your head implies that you actually do believe this stuff.

What in the world is an "antibeliever?" I find it kind of telling you chose this phrase instead of anti science.

[DoreenMichele → Capricorn2481]

Antibeliever is someone who firmly believes the opposite though it's not actually scientifically proven.

For example, people who say Bigfoot or aliens are absolutely not real and anyone who believes in such is clearly a loon rather than saying "It's unproven and seems extremely unlikely."

> Antibeliever is someone who firmly believes...

maybe they should be called a firm believer, then?

like, in science?

the opposite here is the default until you prove your thing true and the default false

[cjaybo → DoreenMichele]

You seem to be reading into and responding somewhat defensively to subtext that doesn’t appear to exist

[DoreenMichele → cjaybo]

You appear to be making this personal for no reason whatsoever.

We are hardly living in incredulous times.
