This whole conversation has been immensely helpful to me, certainly the comment: "respect the scale of what's at stake, have the temerity to express doubt, possess the common sense to consider their observations, and ask questions." .. pretty much sums it up, though some will try to dismiss it (I can't imagine a valid counter-argument to that). As far as the 'philosophical' aspect behind this debate goes, that may be as clear as I've yet seen it written. It would be helpful if others passionate about this subject would read this. Perhaps learning to avoid the 'anti-science' mines planted all around this topic that childishly squash any intelligent discourse or debate.
