So you are incredulous. An indication that you could use some of that education stuff. In order to make sensible arguments in the case you were right to be incredulous, if nothing else.

Bill happens to be human. Science is not a human. Kinda a fine point,

You got the cart before the horse. Knowledge should be driven by data, not the other way around.

Science is defined by humans, therefore an extension of humans.

So in the end, what is science at times is based on human opinion.

Neither point makes sense. The first is laughable. We define what planets are and are not, therefore pluto is an extension of ourselves? That isn't even wrong, it's just stupid.

Your second point can be rehabilitated. Science does not depend on human opinion (the exact opposite, actually) but scientists are human and that brings a lot of baggage. Including frustration from dealing with ignorant people unaware of basic science facts.
Such science facts are still open to alteration or even deletion, but that is too confusing for the pre-101 crowd.

You are in the actual world here. I bet you have no special knowledge about the dead, and just farted as a contribution to discussion.

It isn't special knowledge. But you are dead so you don't know about it. The knowledge is free for all who want it.

I don't buy your crud, so you squirm. Your crud doesn't work. There is another path open for you.

Listen to yourself! Are you talking to dead people? You parody unreason.

Don't you think it would be a good idea to investigate why people think they have good reasons to believe that something happened a long time ago, before dismissing it?

Understanding the methodology would help as well.

Kind of like people who blow off global warming because "hey, last winter we had some of the lowest temps ever."
