Maybe would be good if I share with you guys some basics of scientific
humor. As alex23 well pointed out, there's a kind of funny and sad behind
this typical human reaction. There's a lot of science observing you as a
plain humans, science has been being observing you for a long time, and
science says that people tend to laugh_at when their intuition realizes
that is in front of whatever phenomena that could undermine its thought
foundations. Believe it or not, laughing_at is mostly a sign that one's
afraid of losing his reason, a manifest sign of psychological fear. For
example, being informed about that in a few hours an asteroid named X-21
will crash your planet destroying it would also first make you "react"
neglecting it, then react with the typical smile_at the messenger, then if
this given messenger insists you would normally tend to "overreact" and
laugh_at the previously mentioned messenger, and all this will happen even
if the information brought to you says the truth. Same happens if one's mom
come one day and tells that the guy one always believed is his father is in
fact not, that there's a real father of yours that will remain forever lost
in the crowd with whom she once had an occasional sex intercourse inside
the bathroom of a bar. Then first you'll smile_at her, then if she keeps on
insisting with the funny/sad subject that alex23 well pointed out you'll
eventually start overreacting and laugh_at her. At this point, only if she
keeps on insisting with her truth until you're tired enough of overreacting
because overreacting won't ever change the fact that the guy you (need to)
believe is your biological father could keep on being whatever you please
but not that, she can reach the goal of making you understand.

I'm just an honest and polite guy asking you guys a couple of simple out of
the box questions that are important for me. Everyone here has the freedom
to keep on with their own assumptions and beliefs. If someone's interested
on thinking outside the box with me for the sake of helping me, that would
be great and highly appreciated. Thinking outside the box isn't just a
cheap thing since it's highly creative. Take note that being able to think
and write in English doesn't make you writers as, put, Faulkner. Same
happens with any other language, same happens with Python.
