I hardly know how to address you after that Cyclo. I have seen thousands of cows, thousands of sheep, thousands of chickens, thousand of wild birds, thousands of fish, uncountable numbers of insects. Easy. I grew up in a farming area before mechanical operations got properly going. There was nothing exaggerated. The place teemed with farmed and wild animals.
Insects are not animals - they don't count.
Even counting your living on a farm, you are still exaggerating. You really aren't grasping how many of something a hundred thousand is.

Your actions give the lie to this statement; it is quite clear that they in fact do.

You brought up the 'I've never seen it' theory of science. I showed you how silly you were in doing so and here you are denying it by claiming I did it.
You didn't 'show' anything. You tried to make a Black Swan argument, which is a logical fallacy. All it disproved was any idea that you knew anything at all about science and the scientific method - which you disdain constantly.
The rest of your post is boring and juvenile, so I'll just end it by saying that you certainly don't act like someone who isn't affected by insults. Quite the opposite. But I'm sure a few more pints at the pub will make you feel better here in an hour or two, dulling the ache behind your temples caused from being asked to do even the slightest amount of analysis.
