Sir Fred Hoyle was not a charleton. He was a scientist who was convinced a theory he had developed was true, despite evidence that indicated it wasn't. That's something that has often happened - and in some cases it has turned out subsequently that further evidence confirms their "discredited" ideas.

The history of science is a lot more complicated than you seem to present it, Steve. And scientists are as liable to behave in ways that aren't consistent with scientific principles as Christians are to behave in ways that aren't consistent with Christian principles. (And Shimrod, one exception does in fact break a rule, if the rule is one that does not allow for exceptions. "Scientistsd do not..." is such a rule. "Some scientists" or "most scientists" or "no scientists should" would not be.)

I have in fact responded to your repeated accusations, Steve, as has Joe. You aren't satisfied with the responses. That's fine by me, I'm really am not trying to persuade you to change your views, and don't expect to. You've done so in the past, as you've indicated, perhaps you might again in the future, but that's not my concern.
