This seems to be a recurring theme with you. You just seem to think that most people are blowhards who want to make themselves look good by association with non-blowhards.
Why do you think you feel that way?
I have a lot of experience of that sort of thing with people who think science has social cachet and as soon as they are asked why they live their lives in a non-scientific manner start on the insults and the raspberries.Naturally,amongst themselves,such questions never arise so they have no need to face up to them.
There are no scientists on here opposing ID.That I can assure you of.
But don't worry boys-I'm not expecting you to admit it.I'm not that daft.
It's exactly the same with football tactics.Friday night brings the football "experts" out in force and most of them haven't the faintest idea about that either but to those who know little about it they can often seem impressive.
In politics the situation is even worse.
But I don't mind.You can pose anyway you wish as far as I'm concerned.It amuses me actually.I quite enjoy bursting out laughing in the pub when a pompous statement of the most utter naiveity is offered with unfaked gravitas as a guide to how the country ought to be run from somebody who has a known attention span of a few seconds and has made the totally unwarranted assumption that all his/her audience is as completely stupid as he/she is.
