Sure, if sycld dreamed up his own personal biological theories and then was proven wrong, he might not be able to understand why, if he wasn't well-educated in the appropriate field. But he's in no danger of being put in that situation. Know why? Because he DOESN'T dream up his own personal unsupported theories; instead he goes with what the actual scientific community has learned. As long as he chooses to invest his credulity in the scientifically supported ideas, he's not really in much danger of being proven wrong in the first place.
Yeah, fuck them!
