Because it's based on logic, reason and ultimately fact. What other evidence can be relevant to this, hearsay and speculation?

Brilliant! I'm being told by someone who believe an invisible being that is also all around us created the world in 6 days, making light before the sun incidentally. Oh, also a being which is all-powerful and all-good but for some reason can't stop the myriad of suffering that goes on or is petty enough to make people suffer to test their faith. Also an all-good being which cares whether men shove their d*cks up vaginas or a-holes. Yeah, like I'm going to take you seriously.

But let's not make this a debate about whether or not God exists, however silly you want to be in your personal beliefs is none of my concern, but when it comes to medicine science is what matters, not mythical beings.

No, it's not. Where did you get your conclusion from?

No, because I'm not an idiot so I'm not included in that bracket of people, recognising that there are idiotic parents does not mean I think all parents are idiots.

Maybe, but these things are studied extensively before being used and are coninuously evaluated, like you say this is anecdotal evidence based on assumptions.
