Because you can't test them does not mean they are unfalsifiable. A statement is falsifiable if it is possible to conceive an observation or an argument which proves the statement in question to be false. You know they are not baseless--you are very familiar with the arguments. Again, you might not like the quality of the evidence or believe an alternate theory, but following the evidence we have is quite 'reasonable'.
I have never before read a statement so full of bullshit and willful ignorance. Not even GC has ever gotten this bad.
Steve, you have no understanding whatsoever about how science works. It would be best if you simply stopped. It's better to remain quiet and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt. Of course, it's too late for you.
