Replacing ignorance with superstition is not a solution. If the public is ignorant then it is even more important to enlighten them not pander to their ignorance.
When supposedly top scientists are 'bickering ' as you call it Mark I am sure they are being quoted totally out of context as the reporters are just not up to speed and only 'report' the bits they vaguely understand.

I will not comment on the phenomena of 'nice' scientists being more believable than 'nasty' scientists.

You only have to see the reporting on so called celebrities and the vacuous pap that passes for news.

When the MSM do a thorough analysis of peer reviewed papers by these so called combatants. Then maybe you can begin to get to the truth of the matter.

The way I see this pap is that it is the ignorant unable to comprehend reporting to the even more ignorant.

If this is not a serious problem, then what is?

Bert it is fine to attack sloppy or falsified science, I say go for it and show no mercy. But to say he is more famous then us so everyone is going to believe what he says and not us.....well thats personal in my view and would definately call it bickering. It may very well be media hype who knows but where there is smoke there is usually a fire at its root. Personally I think time will show they are all wrong and their rantings will forever pass down through the S bend of stupid ideas .
