Why is there so much division in the scientific community? I rely on those with the extraordinary ability to investigate the laws of nature on behalf of humanity. I am astounded and saddened to hear this knowledge wasted on egotistical explanations using your amazing platform. Please consider that there are those of us who believe your website should promote a truth that transcends this use. Thank you for taking the “high road”; it does not go unnoticed. Theah
