It is not a matter of not knowing the scientific process, but not knowing the exact state of the application of it to autism and vaccinations. My general understanding is that there have been studies that have found no link, and some that tend to disprove the existence of any un-found link. The last I heard on it left it as not clearly wrong, but near to it.

But I really don't care about the exact state of research into this alleged phenomenon. It wasn't the point.

And for you to suggest that someone (me) is ignorant of how the scientific process works is to stretch the content of what I have said far beyond what it clearly evidences. (And Ohio thinks I am the one who is out picking on people.) Nothing I said should have given you cause to conclude anything about my knowledge of the scientific method.

The only thing worth noting about any of it is whether it might be reasonable to reconsider how well we think we know what scripture says that so many over so many centuries disagree with. That does not mean that we do not raise the questions we think we see. They need to hear our thoughts. And consider them, not just dismiss them. And maybe we will all discover that, as a result of an ignorant question, we realize we have been reading something wrong. So I'm not suggesting that what I, Ohio, ZNP, John, UntoHim, Igzy, rayolita, or anyone else thinks is simply bogus or wrong. It just can't be simply right because we think it is or because we have some sense that the Spirit is with us )and therefore must not be with them).

So forget autism. Forget the scientific method. It evidently is a distraction to some rather than a worthy parallel or example.
