“I don’t see any scientists on TV in their expensive white suits pretending to heal people and swindling old ladies out of their savings. But, we’ve established that objective facts are not your strong suit.”
He may not wear an expensive white suit however he feels himself as scientific as any scientist even won a Nobel Peace Prize AND an Oscar yet this preacher of Gaiaism has been able to con old, young and everyone inbetween to buy trees as attonement for the sins of being human living on planet Earth. Al Goricle is better than a Mayan priest, I’d say.
That said; I think without something greater than ourselves in which to believe, human beings would be quite capable of engaging in some really creepy things. For example, The National Socialist German Workers party such did some awfully creepy things to pregnant women all for the cause of scientifc research, much in the same way Socialists do today only they hide their creepiness behind the phrase ‘right to privacy’.
