I will clean it up later. But for now – here you go…..

All I asked was why is it that when us skeptics can’t reproduce
data or confirm hypothesis for The Impact Team we are accused of slipshod
science or incompetence, yet The Impact team seems to always find what
they are looking for??? Has anyone on The Impact Team critically looked
at their own data? Questioned their hypothesis? Isn’t that was science
is about?
And are we really expected to believe that Vance Haynes can’t
find the Black Mat???
I guess I could just as easily say to you “Fortunately science
is not based on opinions but instead on measurements. Dozens of scientists
bringing unique skills to the subject have provided an enormous amount of
experimental data providing no support for the idea of an impact at the
onset of the YDB. A few, highly biased scientists threw together some
slipshod experiments to support their hypothesis.â€
I must confess to growing very weary of unsubstantiated
accusations of incompetence, slipshod science, and bias toward everyone
who doesn’t buy or who presents data contrary to the YD Impact
Hypothesis. All of the people who tested the hypothesis and came up
wanting or those who tried to reproduce the data are just trying to figure
out what is going on. I know many of them. All are highly respected in
their various fields. None had any biases or agendas that I am aware of.
What is your basis for calling them “highly biased� On what basis do
you decide that their experiments are “slipshod� Because their data
don’t confirm yours???
