This is not "opinion." This is not "belief." This is what occurred in front of me and millions of other people.

Did you even remember Rahm Emanuel? It's not something Obama really wants remembered. Is that all it takes nowadays?

When people have to start erasing big chunks of reality to keep their keels level, they're in trouble. We have had people here in the past a lot further along that road. Don't go there.

Young-Earth Creationists believe they're right, too. I spent a couple of years at 3M in a friendly argument with one, a fellow employee and a really good engineer. I didn't change his mind, but I did learn a lot about the capacity of belief, even in intelligent people, in the face of overwhelming evidence.

Speaking as an engineer, that "three years" bit may show something bending past the elastic limit. Now that is an opinion.
