Wells is a charlatan, a fraud, and a liar. He's a stark raving, bible thumping fundamentalist moonie-bat, who's gone out and gotten himself a degree in biology for the sole purpose of using it to try and pass off his theologcical preaching as "science". He's trying to pass himself off as a "scientist", and his opinions as "scientific" when he doesn't have, and never did have the slightest intention of allowing anything as objective as the scientific method anywhere near his methodology or conclusions.
That would be a qualitative judgment - remember, you are trying to defend your quantitative statement.
