what amuses me, if "amuses" is the correct word, is the willingness some exhibit to deem any unsupported high-pressure live-steam fantasy a "credible scientific theory" while summarily rejecting a well-supported and useful real theory like the ToE.

I believe that it is similar to the mindset that will dismiss scientific journal articles regarding evolution, ancient age for the earth, ancient age for the cosmos or other scientific explanations for which religious objections exist by pointing out that the claims are "unproven" and often focusing on phrases such as "could have" and "may have" when speaking on past events, and then will cling to the very basest of an understanding of "fringe" claims, such as lightspeed decay, that have hardly reached the level of "hypothesis" as evidence that a worldview of a "young earth" and "young universe" is correct.
