I would appreciate it if you didn't intentionally do that here. It makes my job harder!

Turns out there wasn't a rock music thread, so I started one:

Calling all metalheads: Let's go rock out at the new thread! and leave this one for DW discussion.
Check out my loggin times lol!
First you said he never states anything new, now you state his words have little credibility. I am not going to disagree with you that some of his statements are outlandish. But I've studied his divine cosmos books, and I've checked many statements that I thought were outlandish myself.. Most checked out and some I haven't been able to verify. But in most of those cases I could only accuse him of possibly exaggerating. One example is his suggestion that they put a salamander brain in a blender, turned it into jam and then pushed it back in the animal in this completely messed up state. Lo and behold the salamander recovered and even remembered things from before the intervention. I was able to find the experiments with the salamander, some inducing extreme damage like swapping brain halves, taking it out and putting it back, and cutting it into bits, then putting it back. All that is real science I can point you at the articles. But not to the extent where they turned it into something resembling jam. His conclusions would not have changed if he had been more precise in his words.
