I find it difficult to accept that any person is entitled to a belief that only their view is the correct one... and the saying ...a little knowledge be a dangerous thing... springs to mind. In time one must realize that one knows little and most of what were our facts are not worthy of such qualification.
I find it difficult to accept that some folk believe that their science is infallible and then call any alternative nonsense.... and another saying comes to mind...listen to the dull and the ignorant for they to have a story.
The EU group is little different to any other group...they believe they are right because they have "facts"... they are no different to big bangers who say they have the facts....those facts tell us to believe in many things we can not prove...no one can prove the big bang no more than someone can prove the existence of God... but all camps offer their evidence of absolute proof...the bible or the science does not prove what each believe they have established beyond doubt.
The facts are however all are mere humans and as great and wonderful they believe their knowledge base and scientific approach what we/they know is not that much really...and so who has the right to say they know it all.
One could go to uni all their life and still find they know zip about everything... in fact I feel the more one learns the more one is faced with a realization that we know much less than we originally thought.
Those who hold the standard model up as the correct and the only reasonable view would be well advised to look at some of the notions that the standard model suggest are reasonable. AND while taking such a long look to remember that speculation is not science.. It is easy to uncover areas where the term science is used as authority but in fact a scientific approach was clearly abandoned. Just look at the crap on time travel speculation that is generated by those claiming GR as valid science...GR may be valid science but there are more using it and quoting it than folk who understand it.... and when they speculate upon stupid things they say it is science...no it is not.
the speculation upon what happens inside a black hole seems so reasonable as it is science... but speculation is not science...
Anyways when one argues with passion that their view is the correct one it could point to a careless abandonment of respect for another s point of view and an arrogant belief that they know everything.
I have learn these things by looking hard at the approach of others as well as my own approach
