If you were like David, you'd have found your magic rock and slaughtered every detractor by now. Actually, you'd have done so about two years ago. If you wish to liken yourself to David you'll have to find out what your informational slingshot is and practice firing your rock.
If you were right, two years of explaining the principles over and over would have been a delight to you because you'd be excited at the chance of sharing your fascinating and enlightening knowledge. You'd look forward to each new challenge and, if posed a question that troubled you, you'd be thankful that we helped you to find an area that you needed to address.
One thing about forums that is really neat is that you can go back and revisit history to verify what happened. History, as recorded in your two threads, shows that you are not acting like someone who actually has answers, you are acting like someone who wants unmerited awe and respect. On the planet Earth, awe and respect are things you have to earn. Your audience gets to tell you what they require to give it because they are the keepers of the reward you want. Sucks, but that's the way it works.
You want what only other people can give you and that puts you at their mercy.

I deserve respect because I'm a human being that has done nothing to anyone that would be deserving of such mistreatment. |
I used to work at a car dealership. No. People don't deserve respect automatically by the fact they are human when they are trying to convince you of something.
Beyond that, you want respect for scientific claims without showing any evidence that you either understand science nor have respect for scientific processes. The type of respect you ask for has very specific and easy to understand requirements yet you refuse to comply with those requirements.
