Do you even have a degree? Leave science to OFFICIAL REAL scientists.

Oh, so that's how it works! Science is like the army, where the one with the higher rank is right. "Sorry I proved your theory wrong, sir, I didn't know you were the Major High Grand Master Arch-Bishop of General Scientificness. Of course, I will retact my proof immediately and issue an apology for having offended one of my betters..."

The whole point about science is to be scientific about it, not to adobt it as an authorative religion!!
Empirical data can disprove a theory, but never, never, NEVER prove a theory!
To accept theories as gospel is wrong.
To think less of it, beacuse it is "just a theory" is to miss the point completely - being a theory means it's still not disproved, and no amount of empirical backing will elevate it beyond being a theory
I don't mind that people think this theory is right and this is wrong, but it should be based on their own evaluation and reflection, and be able to have an open-minded debate about it, not just adobt whatever theory is in fashion at the moment and argue that everyone that thinks otherwise is morons. Of course, if you refuse do do actual thinking about theories, namecalling is the only argument available to you. And then no amount of elevated titles will save you, only an idiot would be convinced by being called a moron.
