Your right . . . . people debate Creationism vs Darwin, and whether or not we landed on the moon or not, and there are probably some people that still think the earth is flat.

The fact is that Google has stated that they are filtering, if people want to debate that fact, fine. But personally, if they tell me they are doing it, I am going to believe it.

Of course, we tested the theory ourselves, and it turned out they were right. But I am sure you will find someone that will say it was purely coincidental.
