Your Scientific Ignorance Is Showing Again

Continental drift was once considered a crackpot theory. It is now accepted because a lot of evidence supporting it has been accumulated. A theory being interesting does not make it good science. A good theory is one that accounts for the relevant data better than any other theory. Sometimes even the best theory seems questionable, but that just inspires more research.

Crackpots care nothing about the preponderance of data and prefer to change the subject whenever their ignorance is exposed.
