I am certain that any fair minded person reading these posts will note that whatever lack of science education I may have, the arguments I present are more reasonable than some of those who are presumably qualified, yet whose regular response is mockery, patronising or vulgar jibes in place of reasoned discussion.

I fear that "reasoned discussion" is a stranger to you, old chap! I often see you presenting semi-digested and ill-understood tripe from wacky websites and firing off insult after insult in the direction of honest and hard-working scientists, but I've never seen you employ reason (in the accepted sense, at any rate) in your arguments. Never!
