Errr, excuse me? Both sides have strong arguments? No, one side is filled with morons who have no clue about anything technical.
There are also people that aren't really morons, but they don't have a clue about general scientific knowledge and as such they believe the morons' "arguments".
This topic always sets me off.

Although a counter argument could be that this happens with war funding already.
