It was not meant to offensive, but more of a comment on his stubborn refusal
to look at tons of evidence that is so contrary to only his view. Or put this way,
Jason against the world. If you can't convince the world to adopt your way of
seeing things, then maybe it's time for you to change your views. This "the whole
world but me is wrong" is a refusal to adapt and mayhap even learn something.
Just watching and reading the MANY comments has given me a education I never
could have afforded to go to college for.
I do not want to sound as if I am a know-it-all because I am not. I want to learn, so
when I bring my meteorite collection to school, I can make a presentation that will both
instruct and inspire the kids to want to learn more. In order to do this I need to be
willing
to CHANGE MY MIND when the facts don't fit my way of thinking. This means to change
the way I view the theory instead of trying to make the theory fit my point of view.
If I can not adapt to this new theory, then I will admit to being two tacos and a
burrito
short of a combination plate myself. In addition, I will admit to being a stubborn old
Coot.
.I will apologize to the extent that I didn't mean to hurt him, but maybe to jar him
into listening
and becoming more rational in his reasoning.
