Re: mortality rates
"Wrong, the time lines do not add up, anyone with very basic maths skills can see this, Polio was around a very long time before DDT, so it is correct to say that DDT does not cause polio."
Not paralytic polio.
"I don't need conviction when looking at facts, conviction is an emotion, and I have no emotional attachment. There is a weak correlation suggested by the study you presented, based on very poorly done research, and a lack of scientific method used by the authors."
From your other messages it is clear, that you are guilty of what you accuse others of. Conviction is a fixed or firm belief, not an emotion. You appear to have a conviction regarding your opinion of the scientific method, unfortunately the face value of that conviction is hindered by disregard for emotional realities of existence. Surely you are not Dr. Spock. Once again this message shows your hypocrisy regarding the scientific method and the unrealistic stance that you place yourself by your conflicting messages. Because you have consistently never referenced any of your supposed facts, while stating them in your opinion. Your opinion is "a belief or judgment that rests on grounds insufficient to produce complete certainty. " therefore you cannot be certain.
If this is true, state it as such and stop it with the hypocrisy.
