Matter and energy can be past-eternal

It would be very embarrassing for you if I did do that for a living, but I'm actually a Computer Scientist.

I'd like to see your credentials, please.

Being a Computer Scientist is irrelevant to the topic of big bang singularity, and I'm not using my title to escape arguments.

On the other hand, Alex and his friends have repeatedly claimed that he's a physicist, as though I should just roll over and forget that I owned him. If one is going to use their science credentials as a way to whitewash a scientific illiterate statement that they had made, then they better have some evidence of those credentials.

If we were having a discussion about algorithms and data structures, and then I said something that revealed that I didn't know what I was talking about, and you called me out on it, wouldn't you be suspicious if I stomped my feet, called you a troll, proclaimed that I was a Computer Scientist, and then told you to pipe down? What would you think if after asking for evidence of said credentials, a deluge of retards came on to the scene and started bleating "He's a Computer Scientist! He's a Computer Scientist! He's a Computer Scientist!" What would you think and do? Wouldn't it be even weirder if this took place in a community that thought of themselves as skeptics and people who do not believe without evidence?
