it's not so easy to write someone out of history.

Yet xtianity does it with great aplomb.

no, i'm not saying my argument is mostly right, i'm saying my facts are mostly right. these people are saying i'm stupid and don't know anything but i was mostly right on the process according to you. thank you for giving me some credit and not saying i don't know what i'm talking about and need to go back to science 101 like these other closed mined people.
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

I think you need to be a bit more selective as to what sources you use (i.e. use ones that are current and reputable).

Obviously you are incapable of reading...which would lead one to suspect you are intellectually challenged or uneducated = stupid. You still need to go back to science 101 should you not wish to continue to appear to be stupid, english might be of help too.

Not really, no. History Channel is entertainment. Hey, I watch it too, but if what's presented isn't supported by reputable sources, it should be treated as suspect the same as any other source.

Television in general isn't a good source for factual information. It's an entertainment medium intended to sell advertising above all other considerations.

Published peer-reviewed journals, or sources that reference the same are usually good sources (although there are some exceptions). When examining scientific / historical / etc claims, it's also useful to look at critical sources as well.

I wouldn't use them (or any other source) unless they cited their sources, and those sources were reputable.

Which is why they are given to you as a reference starting point... Facepalm
