in reviewing the postings, the most consistent characteristic is the passion behind so many of the writers remarks.The issue simply isn t one that should generate such heat, making me think that for many this is a political debate, not a scientific debate.I suggest that anyone who stoops to name calling or character assassination stop for a moment and think about the issue.It can never be resolved , on either side, so that it becomes by definition, a non-scientific question. There is no experiment either side can suggest that would determine who or what is right.It is an arguement on the order of was Bobby Jones or Tiger the greatest golfer, or was the Babe greater than Alex R.The arguements are fun, if you listen carefully you can learn some interesting things you didn t know, but the questions can not be definitively proven.Instead enjoy the efforts and evidence each side collects.They are each composed of very bright guys .
