You are trying to stir up controversy where none exists, and then say
"see, there's no consensus". It's disingenuous, and I'm not sure what you
are attempting to accomplish by it.

Please see http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/conten.../306/5702/1686 for a
survey view of consensus scientific opinion.


Consensus does not make fact.


Yeah yeah yeah. And Gravity is just a "theory".

Look, you can either believe the scientific consensus or not. It may
well be wrong - the scientific method is not infallable, it's just the
best we've got. But please stop trying to muddy the water by claiming
that there is no consensus. There is.
