   No, I did it like someone who suggests that if you want to invoke magic,   
   at least have the balls and the intellectual integrity to do so   
   honestly,  and if you want any if it regarded as anything beyond bullshit   
   spewed by credulous nutbags, trot out the supporting evidence for it.   
      
   As I said, with *no* reason offered to take it seriously, there's no   
   reason to take it seriously, or to treat any other crackpot claim as   
   equally valid.   
      
   Not my fault these boneheaded morons can't come up with a shred of   
   anything sane to support their delusional fantasies.  If they don't like   
   being treated like idiots, they should either not say idiotic things, or   
   should demonstrate those things to not be idiotic - via evidence.   
      
   Instead, they whine.   
      
   Fuck 'em.  Spoiled toddlers, the lot.
