Yep, you've got that right, Shane. However, this involves a lot more than just human nature and challenged notions. This involves science and the abuse of science by people who have no concept or idea of what the subject means. They have little understanding of how it works and no understanding on the science they believe they have some insight into. But then they think they have some "divine right" to "go tell it to the mountain". They have little or no respect for anyone or anything that is the antithesis of their beliefs and roundly denigrate anyone who doesn't follow the "creed". All you have to do to see this is the case is go and visit their site(s).
It wouldn't surprise me if the founders of this nonsense didn't get it into their heads at some stage to do a "L. Ron Hubbard" and start a religion.
It's halfway there already.
