Last I looked this is the Christianity section of the Atheist form.
I went to school many years ago... And unfortunately, I didn't make the rocket scientist grade like many of you here. I have my bandwidth of knowledge pertaining to my career and interests. And much, much more to think about in day to day life than arguing the finer points of gas & vapor in the solar system.
If you have better things to think about, then why did you feel you were qualified to make declarative, sweeping statements about this topic in the first place?

Yeah, yeah, it's all about getting you. We all just hate you. It's got nothing to do with the fact that you're demonstrably wrong and unwilling to learn.

I'm so tired of this bizarre, solipsistic last resort you desperate mooks come to. Peer reviewed science has merit. Peer reviewed science is trustworthy. It's demonstrable. It's replicable. But rather than just admit you were wrong, you'll flee to this "you didn't see it, therefore it never happened." position. And again, it's a shifting of the goalposts, because you never mentioned this position before you got called on your ignorance.
Well, guess what? I've never seen god, you've never seen god... I guess he doesn't exist, right? Hell, I guess I don't either.
You can either accept the findings of other, qualified people with regards to things, or you can not, and be a solipsist. But don't bullshit us with this when it comes to things you disagree with, while taking the word of the institute of creation research a page or so back, hypocrite.

If you don't want to be discredited, stop being wrong. It's that simple.
Try being right one of these days!
