Do you receive monetary benefit by perpetuating the scam?
That's because both the Secular Humanists and Socialists have moled their way into the bowels of America's governmental committees who are responsible for doling out OUR money into a black-hole of BS research.
And rest assured, somewhere, somehow, someone has gotten a government grant of $100,000 for "listening" in on, with much anticipation to E.T's first greeting to the "Earthlings".
You know, Physicist, as an active member of two conspiracies - the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy and the Vast Evolutionist Scientist Conspiracy, you must be doing quite well for yourself! Having two income streams is always a sure route to riches.
BTW, my check from the Scaife Foundation didn't arrive this month, and their conspirator support line is always busy. Did you get yours?
I feel for you. You've tied your religious faith to the belief that the universe behaves in a certain way, and now that you're faced with hard evidence that it does not, all you can do is to lash out at me personally. Or perhaps you're grasping at the straw that I really am on the take, and that by focusing on my motives you can avoid the necessity of swallowing the indigestible facts of the universe. But alas, anyone who knows my history here can tell you that I act on principle, and in any case the facts still remain.
If impugning me further will help you to get through what must be a difficult time, I won't hold it against you.
