Or am I the lone one?

I mean germ theory doesn't really explain where the dinosaurs went or why the earth revolves around the sun. Too many gaps, unanswered questions, "leaps of faith" to be made for me to think germ theory is the one TRUE way. The jury is still out.

Teach the controversy!

as a result of history's first drug bust (adam & eve) demons enter into our bodies and make us sick.

don't bother washing your hands, taking vaccines, or visiting the doctor. pray the demons away and maybe wait by a pool until the wind rustles the surface. then jump in and you'll be fine!

I mean, it is just a "theory", right? It's not like we can observe the germs!

It seems to me that it takes just as much faith, if not more, to believe in germ theory than intelligent illness!

Totally. I mean, if "germ theory" was so airtight, wouldn't they have found a cure for the common cold already?

Learning the law of attraction took away all of my fear of germs. Now I laugh at all things microbiology...

I know! People only get sick because they are negative. My friend Cheryl is one of the most positive people I know and she never gets sick!

How is something so small and you can't see suppose to hurt you anyways?

I read a book about it, and I still didn't understand.

Therefore it is false.

What was the name of the book? I once took a meteorology course in college so I understand science. I'll give it a try, but I don't think it will convince me!

I've read all those and I'm still not convinced. That's the thing with these atheist scientists, they never have any new arguments.

Plus, the fact that most of those authors are atheists automatically discredits any thing they say.

They all come from the Germination which is over by France and s**t.

Or maybe that's monkey poo.

The whole purpose of germ-theory is to make people scared of invisible animals. Sounds just like them trying to scare us into obedience. Well I'm not scared of no bacteria!

There are scientists who don't accept it.

Besides that, a law of thermodynamics disproves it.

I should know because my pastor studied this topic.

The theory of gravity is just a human conspiracy. Newton tricked the Parlament to pass it as a law.

Call me a fanboy of modern medicine. It's easy not to take this stuff for granted, but you would miss it if we turned the clock back a couple centuries.

Alternative medicine is fun until you actually get sick...then you turn to the real stuff.

And I once bought that. D'oh!!
