    Who To Believe?

    I did suggest that and that it was not as simple as perhaos thought by many at first... at least the vast majority of people know the score now and for that it has been worthwhile those who choose to believe magpies influence songbird populations will continue to do so although i do also...

    the scientists are not wrong about magpies etc etc to live life as if they are is the absurd reductionist argument again - why believe any scientist about anything? if you believe they are wrong you need to show it. with numbers and theories and facts scientists are actually correct 99% of...
