And he talks about the only peer reviewed (ie based on fact and science, reviewed by other peers, not random questions) paper on the topic:

Well, if anything will settle this once and for all, that will. I enjoyed the writer's analogy to other pseudo-science theories that are out there:

Quote:
there are CT sites which attack this paper but not one person has yet to disprove it's hypothesis professionally. There are still people attacking the theory of evolution. Anyone can attack, not many can produce a paper to back it up. Just as there is no "Theory of intelligent design" except in christian web sites there are no alternatives to this paper other than in CT sites and books.
What this analogy shows to me is that what's crucial is your methodology. If you're constantly attacking assertions made by others, and haven't produced original peer-reviewed science of your own, then you may be a pseudoscientist.
