This is even more disingenuous than the OP.

A pile of papers and consensus among the academic elite and their funders is quite different than proofs in mathematics, which are self-evidently true, or logical inferences from axioms which one can choose to accept or not.



By the 'academic elite' you mean 98.7% consensus among experts?[1]

Doesn‘t that number alone arouse suspicion in you? I suggest you read the paper in question and ask yourself if their methods really measure what they claim.


What number would you not find suspicious?


Presumably 1 in 10 dentists.

I wonder what the parent poster would think about the consensus on evolution, or gravity.
