"Amazing how people can decide in an instant about something a few million miles away on a distant planet that they essentially know nothing about! My, the presumptuousness of the human ego!"

There is nothing amazing about using common sense and basic understanding of scientific principles. The "evidence" in this case was very specific and the reasons that many of us stated that debunk this loon has nothing to do with our egos but simply the fact that we can think logically.

The only thing "presumptuous" about the human ego is that it tries to create illogical explanations for items it cannot immediately comprehend. That ego then becomes steadfast in its belief and won't accept logic or fact when it is presented. Then that ego evolves into a pompous ass that yammers on about far fetched nonsense and attacks the individual delivering the contrary information, not the arguement or the facts.
