Well, then I'm sorry you didn't read any of the rest of my post.
If you expect a reasonable discussion, you shouldn't also adhere to one
idea, get defensive, and refuse to listen to what people who know
something about the subject have to say. I agree that many of the people
answering you have not been reasonable or even polite. But the fact is,
you are doing exactly what you accuse "traditional" science of
doing--sticking to your belief regardless of evidence (or, as I keep
trying and trying to point out, complete LACK of evidence). FIghting in
the underdog position is noble and fun, but it doesn't mean you're
necessarily right.
