But again, anyone ignoring evidence is not doing science.

Those who ARE "ignoring science" have credentials that say they are
scientists.

They may have been at some point, but everyone is fallible. And when
you ignore evidence, you are not doing science, period.

The problem is that "evidence" doesn't have the same strength to
different scientists. There is a subjective component.

Straw man claim. Maybe you should go back in the thread a bit and
read/reread what I ACTUALLY wrote rather than just make disparaging
remarks.

Not worth the trouble, sorry...

Then don't make unsupported assertions.

And what if it is false? Beliefs can be wrong.

As I have discussed previously, the statistics are with me .. to
many 9's.

A statistics of only one single positive case can never be that
reliable, sorry...

You're speaking from ignorance of the argument since you don't want
to start at the beginning of the discussion. I'm willing to re-chew
my cabbage but not in a hostile environment.

However, polytheism typically envisions various gods at odds
with one another. Christianity, OTOH, has them in full agreement,
working in perfect harmony.

Satan is also a part of the Christian pantheon. Is Satan and God
in perfekt harmoni with one another?

It is important for our development that there be opposition. Of
course, not everyone will be admitted through the "Pearly Gates."
This is a basic teaching of Christianity.

So why are you then making false claims?

Which "false claims" would those be? That the "advanced civilization"
won't have different levels, lower ones not involved directly in
governing? YOU are making false assumptions :-)
