Michael Crichton is as a reliable source of info on science as Michael Moore is on politics.
ie he isnt
I love it when people talk off the cuff, thinking they are all knowing.
First off genius, MC's "State of Fear" has footnotes...you do remember what footnotes are...right? These footnotes lead to documentation that validate his arguments. Then after you've read his novel, he sums up his own opinions where he states that we really don't know enough currently to base our policies on.
By scientists.
You make no sense.
Sorry, but no, Dr. Crichton is quite a bit higher in stature than Mikey Moore. He actually had the education and does the research.
Read up on him a bit perhaps.
