So, Bill, are you going to answer my question in this thread? If not, just say you aren't going to answer it and I'll stop asking you for an answer.

The Journal of Cosmology replies to their critics.
The Journal of Cosmology replies
Category: Kooks
Posted on: March 10, 2011 8:58 PM, by PZ Myers
How nice. The Journal of Cosmology has published a set of commentaries on that awful 'bacteria in meteorites' paper — they're almost entirely positive, almost fawning. There seems to be a dearth of critical thinking in this field…or it's a filtered list. They have also added a Statement to the article. And oh, what a Statement!
|
The statement follows and it is mainly a subdued rant against every every eyebrow skeptically raised about the study -- not impressive.
Official Statement The Journal of Cosmology,
Have the Terrorists Won?
Only a few crackpots and charlatans have denounced the Hoover study. NASA's chief scientist was charged with unprofessional conduct for lying publicly about the Journal of Cosmology and the Hoover paper. The same crackpots, self-promoters, liars, and failures, are quoted repeatedly in the media. However, where is the evidence the Hoover study is not accurate?
|
Right off the bat we find demands for proof of a negative (PROVE that God doesn't exist!). Hoover made the positive claim in their journal; it is upon him and by extension the journal to provide support for it.
Are any independant researchers going to be invited to study the findings? Thus far, all I've seen is in-house comments, which can be found in the link within the link.

You haven't answered it at all, you haven't even given a response except to say that you would answer. So.

I tried to answer your request. I will not attempt to answer your question again as I feel that I have adequately responded to it in a previous post, and I feel it is unanswerable as posed. I also understand that you do not agree with that view. Disagreement is common on these forums.I would think that we all need to recognize and learn to live with that. I will not respond to any further questions or commentary concerning this matter. |

Fair enough. I'll ask two things then, a link to the post where you addressed this, and then for you to clear out a space in your inbox so you can receive a pm.
