that ...
a) Boyle actually did the experiments he is credited with and proved Boyle's Law? or that ....
b) Balaams donkey talked to Balaam shortly before an angel revealed himself to Balaam?
Do you give equal credence to these two stories Doc? Or does one seem more likely to have happened than the other?

It is what it is. We are where we are, no doubt about that.
I argue for accepting that we don't know for sure, in spite of those that are sure.
