This is really an interesting thread. Lot of good info and intelligent discussion on both sides. I don’t know what to make of the whole thing though. Conflicting ‘schools of thought’ in science are usually based on differing assumptions. That’s fine, because it’s the foundation of science.

But when one school consists of members of one political ideology, and the opposite school consists of members of the opposing political ideology, none of it is science anymore, it’s politics. Or religion, the difference between the two, (politics and religion) frequently being indistinguishable.
