Perry was putting a little strongly perhaps, but I can understand his
impatience. We've been trying to find a mechanism to ensure that all posters
to the Extropian list have the ability to get a C+ or better on a 5'th grade
Science test, but as your post demonstrates we have not always been
successful.

On the contrary, alien abductions and prayer cureing cancer are every bit as
Scientific as a water powered car.

You have to understand, with all the amazing discoveries in this incredible
age it's difficult for even the best of us to keep up with it all,
and we just don't have time for such ..., how can I put it politely...,
male bovine excrement.
