Are not proportions irrelevant? If only one scientist has pertinent data that the others have ignored or not included for some reason, does that make the one scientist wrong because everyone else says otherwise? What is important is whether or not the minority opinion is more valid than the majority opinion. After all, the majority believe in god. Thinking

Given the fact that peer review is vital in science, I'd say that numbers do actually matter. If that one scientist has his data reviewed and accepted by a number of scientists, I'm all ears. Whatcha got?

Unlike theists, peer reviewers actually look at the data they're reviewing, which renders your comparison artificial and nugatory.

So no: proportions aren't irrelevant.
