 The argument is that nuclear bombs can't exist 
 Ugh. 
Attractive thesis other than the fact that we’re living in more of make believe land if that’s true. 
 For nuclear bombs to exist, nuclei need to exist. 
 I don't necessarily believe that physics & chemistry have a perfect understanding

But I do believe in nuclear generation of electricity

Should I not? 
 Same, I also believe you can get tons of energy out of uranium etc...

Just don't believe it's particles dancing around that are doing the trick.
