Craig and Brent: would you kindly disclose an opinion that can be deemed "SUPPORTED"????
All our 'support' (evidence, verification whatever) comes from mostly uninformed information fragments we receive by observation(?) of the already accessible details and try to complete them by the available 'knowledge' already established as "conventional science" stuff. We use instruments, constructed to work on the just described portion of observations and evaluate the 'received'(?) data by our flimsy (*human?)*mathematical logic ONLY. Just compare "opinions" (scientific that is) of different ages before (and after) different levels of accepted (and believed!) informational basis (like Flat Earth, BEFORE electricity, BEFORE Marie Curie, Watson, etc.) My "worldview" (and my narrative, of course) is also based on UNSUPPORTED OPINION: "mine".
