I don't believe you, please show me some peer reviewed science instead of waiving around some ^hokey-pokey^ rubbery belief.

Yes you're write Dang. Incivility vs factual evidence. Maybe I should be more tactful.
Facts not superstition, reducibility through empiricism. Rational thought instead emotion. Ideas like this were fought and won during ^the Enlightenment^ some 200 to 250 years ago. [0]
