Intelligent, but a doofus. Here's a quote from his webpage about his (I think, 2nd) wife:
Katie explained that just prior to the conference she had watched a NOVA documentary pertaining to the formation of stars, learning (according to the standard story – there are other theories that currently challenge it, such as those put forth by the Electric Universe community) that hydrogen molecules in space gather to form clouds and eventually, through gravitational forces, collapse into stars. The program also explained how virtually all the elements that are released from stars via ejecta (CMEs, the solar wind stream, etc.) can be found in us and in all life on Earth.
Katie thus wondered if hydrogen was the key, the missing piece of a grand and enormous cycle. Katie's theory speculates that, upon death, our hydrogen atoms (we are largely water and water is H2O) are released from us and, being light (hydrogen is the lightest element on the periodic table), they float up to space where they gather into clouds and, through time, form stars.
Three words.
Conservation of mass.
If the entire mass of Earth + atmosphere were hydrogen, there wouldn't be enough to create a single star.
Next issue.
Age of Earth vs. age of stars (cosmic events being light years away). Where'd the stars come from before there were people, indeed, before there was the Earth?
Third issue.
Distance. Light years vs. very non-relativistic speed of atmospheric gases.
This guy might have good insights on the Sphinx, or not, but he let his desire for women overtake his reason...
