lol - you and I both know you would've anyway.
I don't remember which forum it was, but I've seen the same nonsense from Statler Waldorf before, so you're conclusion would seem to be accurate.

Scientists wouldn't get away with such a popularity contest as there are always other scientists waiting in the wings to rip their ideas to shreds. When such attempts fail, only then is a consensus reached.
In contrast, creationists are always falling over themselves agreeing a consensus first (so long as it accords with their reading of their book of fables), then looking for ways to twist or invent evidence to support their conclusion.
