    For the real story on the supposed science djejejdjjej was talking about

    See this: http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Oregon_Institute_of_Science_and_Medicine

    They tried to make the paper look like it was from the National Academy of Science, when actually, it had nothing to do with them, and was just something they cooked up in their basement, that hasn't been peer-reviewed, etc. In other words, a complete crackpot.

    djejejdje, or whatever his/her name is, attempted to suggest this was but one, of many glorious examples of the "real" science, when in fact it is a bunch of crackpots.

    The thing is, you see, the scientists make predictions based on their theories, and for several decades those predictions have been pretty spot-on. When the Christians come up with predictions based on their volcano-theory, or whatever, and those predictions actually work out, then we can start talking volcano-theory. Until then it's a lot of hot gas, in direct opposition to the available facts.
