I was going to quit for the day, but I couldn't resist this one.

The short answer is that you're being flim-flammed into thinking there's any scientific doubt on the matter. If you want a longer answer I think you should propose your own thread.
I just might do that, and I don't intend to use much more space on your thread, but need to answer this.

You keep alluding to your ignorance, but I don't think that's really a problem because ignorance is easily remedied. The real problem is that you don't know who to believe. Your inclination is to believe those telling you things consistent with your beliefs. You're also inclined to give credence to professional scientists.
The reason I was alluding to my ignorance was because the way I read roxrkool's post, it looked like she was saying that there was a debate. I thought that there was no debate among "professional scientists". So I thought maybe I was misunderstanding because of my ignorance.

Are you a professional or is there something you're really good at, perhaps a craft or a sport?
I think I'm pretty good at raising kids. But there is a lot of debate among us professional kid-raisers as to the best methods, so I'm not sure that's a good one.

Let me pick the medical profession, since everyone's been to the doctor.
Probably not a good one either, since I tend to distrust physicians, mainly because they make their money off of drugs and surgery. I think both are often not as necessary as they make it seem. I usually throw away prescriptions without filling them.
