Hey there, I feel the need to point out this is a topic where it's especially important for people to be civil and charitable, as it's a controversial topic that triggers a lot of strong emotions in people, which can cause a potentially really interesting discussion to go off the rails. In that spirit, you'll help things a lot by avoiding making combative, straw-man comments like 'What is your alternative? Just say "must be the almighty" and do nothing? Because doing that is surely more scientific?' That is best practice on HN at all times, but even more so on hot-button topics like this.
