no misunderstanding. what i'm saying is some DO believe everything they read or hear (wrongly) and some are doing it on purpose to rile up people and learn. they shouldn't be knocked and name-called, they should be taught. that of course is my unwanted and unwarranted opinion. sorry that got past you.

As for us who have limited degrees in the science fields the web is a bountiful place for subjects to interest us.
absolutely KichigaiNeko, i agree completely if they use it as "gospel", haha. i knew what it was about and it sounded to me like the thread started to take on an elitist vibe, which irritates me. lol. i'm not an astrophysicist nor biologist, no matter how much i've read and watched on different subjects that interest me. having said that, if posts were indirectly knocking me (since i can only speak for myself) using google as a starting point to investigate, then i don't agree. maybe i did mistake the vibe of the posts.
