dhw-- - You beat me to the punch! Sorry about that! - Dr. Turell,
In short, as this thread will likely draw heat, I'll be concise. - The "Watts up" blog definitely clouds the idea of a consensus. I can safely say that I'm not used to such debates NOT getting much light or attention. However, at this moment I still stand by the fact that no large body of American science is presently challenging what is touted to be a consensus view. The silence here should be at least a little bit unsettling. - Massimo Pigliucci speaks often that the worst thing for evolution has been scientists who simply think "the data shall speak for itself" and don't actively promote debate among the public. Those organizations are abdicating their responsibility if there really wasn't a consensus and they're saying nothing about it. Maybe its just another footnote for Kuhn, I don't know. At any rate, I'm a little disappointed in those organizations.

\"It is, brahmin, because of attachment to views, adherence to views, fixation on views, addiction to views, obsession with views, holding firmly to views that ascetics fight with ascetics.\"
