The finding is most likely bogus (in this instance) however, there are some good points brought up in the paper. Though, the "journal" it supposedly was published in looks more like another "advert" for one particular person's ramblings than anything else.....much like the EU's websites and literature.
One thing....never take the word of anyone doing science at face value, even if they're right. P.Z. Meyers maybe a biologist and an associate professor but that doesn't make him right in everything he says. Doesn't even mean his opinion should be taken as gospel. Unfortunately, that blog is rife with the usual followers and hangers-on that just regurgitate the party line (whether some are actually scientists or not). Then when you get others coming on that try to argue/debate counter to the prevailing opinion, the whole lot descends into the usual sniping, knifing and name calling nonsense which makes me want to puke and why I normally don't frequent places like that. You could cut the ego and vanity there with a chainsaw, let alone a knife.
Ultimately, they only way a question like this can be answered is with doing the proper research and leave the opinion and diatribe to the pages of those tomes which deal with this, or to the mindless drivel which comes out of many TV "news" services these days.
