On the contrary you and Turq's understanding of the world is naive and flawed, has no basis, and is no different than the Spanish Inquisition that denounced Galilleo. You are a anti-science fundamentalist Curtis, who wants to push his own personal opinion over science. If we are to go by your view in the 21st century then anything goes, just because they believe it is true. just like Jerry Falwell, Ted Haggard, George Bush, Osama Bin Laden, Billy Graham, Fox News, The Pope, and the other medieval nuts that are trying to destroy science. Any other of you anti-science freaks on FFL want to join Larry, Ted Haggard, Ann Coulter, Bill O'Rielly and on your fundamentlaist anti- science agenda? If you cannot state clearly: "Only research published in peer-reviewed respected scientific journals, replicated 3 times, should be taken seriously in the 21st century", then you are an anti-science fundamentalist, and belong in the dark ages with the Spanish inquisition, and the Taliban. If you don't state this above statement, then you ARE stating that you are against science. That's a challenge to all you anti-science nuts here on FFL, that cannot bring themselves to make that statement. This has nothing to do with TM, this has to do with the future of science and humankind which is threatened by you people's anti- science fundamentalism -- Curt, Turq, Lurk, Vaj, Sal, Larry, Shemp, Peter, Boo, and others.
