I don't care about that peer journalism bullshit.
There is no reason to trust any authority in this time where humans are ruled by deceivers.
So let me get this straight. You reject the last 200 years of scientific discovery in biology because it is authoritarian in favor of the narrative of a 7th century illiterate warlord who taught that slavery, sex with nine year olds, and the genocide of people that didn't agree with him was OK?
That's fucked up, dude.

I realized I did so simply because I was a coward too scared to reflect and see for myself what the truth regarding this matter is.

But I have more courage to perceive truth be it from a an unknown child and reject falsehood be it by the most praised and popular person on earth.
When you begin to perceive, all the signs become manifest, and when things start clicking, everything starts to fall into place.
I feel bad for you, buddy. I really do. Do you realize you depend on scientific authority every single time you step out of your house? Every time you take a medication, get behind the wheel of a car, order food at a restaurant, or visit a doctor; everything you are learning in school; you’re relying on scientific authority. How do you explain that?
Is it because of their authority that you rely on those things; or is their authority only good, so long as it accurately reflects reality? For me personally, I look at what different and opposing scientists testify to, what there reasoning is, and how what they conclude follows from the evidence and reasons. It's not a matter of authority.

What kind of shit human says stuff like that.
Only one on the internet, I guess.
The kind that knows the power of ignorance encouraged by religion, and wish that power spent with as little harm to others as possible.
Don’t flatter yourself. You’re just a douche nozzle

Fuxxakes, play Mafia MK!  All you've just said there could be the very mantra of Mafia... except there's one extra step: 1. Perceive, 2. See the signs, 3. Everything clicks and falls into place and you feel certainty to the core of your being... then 4. Nine times out of ten you are completely and embarrassingly wrong! I really think you should play, to see for yourself why you can't trust that process to reliably lead to truth.

I doubt you look at "different and opposing scientists", because you'd have to be familiar with the full body of work to know what's what.
Or you go to the University of Youtube.

Ok... you kinda seemed to be quoting me... but the comment seemed from somewhere in left field with no reason for it.
