It's not empirical fact until empirically proven
You've been told multiple times that nothing in science is ever
proven. That being said the evidence supporting various things like the age of the Earth, the non-existance of the biblical flood etc. has wethered all challenges. It's as close to fact as its going to get, and the people who say otherwise are either lying or deluded.
Just a monkey in a long line of kings.
If "elitist" just means "not the dumbest motherfucker in the room", I'll be an elitist!
