Mark, this isn’t the place to discuss the issue, but I feel obliged to point something out. What you call “crazy beliefs” are not crazy, at all. They may seem strange or unbelievable, and they are certainly unprovable, but that doesn’t make them crazy. In fact, by calling them crazy, you are being rather offensive, and despite what you claimed, both you and Willis Eschenbach are obliged to avoid excessive offensiveness (it’s a blog rule). Of course, what qualifies as “excessive” is debatable, and I’m not going to dwell on the matter.
If you want to discuss this matter, or if you want me to show you you are completely wrong when you say “it’s trivial to demolish their unfounded beliefs with simple logic and irrefutable evidence,” I’d be happy to continue this exchange somewhere appropriate. Otherwise, just accept this comment as me disagreeing with you, strenuously.
