You have a go at the other person on this forum for misrepresenting science then you do it yourself.

You still need to lighten up. I have, for one, not misrepresented science and it's quite obvious that you have an all too obvious misconception of the science that is solely due to a lack of knowledge and/or experience in the subject. The fact that I can make light of something that is inherently boring and banal for most people only shows that I have some sensitivity towards their inherent misgivings about science. I can poke fun at it and all the while bring them into taking a look at it. They don't need to understand it, just acknowledge it. If you've ever had to teach science to kids or people who find it tedious and/or boring you'll know exactly where I'm coming from. Understanding will come later, with more experience and study. All I did was take a badly worded statement and make light of it in the context of other posts that have been made here in this forum.
If you want me to get serious about it, I will, but are you going to understand any of the science I will post here???. If you want me to, I'll write reams of maths and quote endless theory but what good is that going to do if you can't follow it and end up not bothering to read on.
If you can't have a sense of humour in and with science, then you might as well give the game up. You'd end up a neurotic mess if you did otherwise.
