>You wouldn't happen to have a name for that Nobel Prize winning chemist, would you?< I cannot remember his name (Terry something? I simply cannot remember), but if you press me, perhaps I will call my local NPR affiliate to see if I can get it. >Or even an approximate date and name of the show on "National Pagan Radio" where this claim was made?< Yes. It was last week, on the Diane Rehm(sp?) show. >There are some scientists who are willing to make fairly outrageous statements about areas of science well outside their area of expertise.< Perhaps, and this simply makes my cynicism increase. Nevertheless, the fellow seemed quite an expert, and the evidence he marshalled forth to support his view was fairly compelling. I can't say that I fully believe him, but I am not at all surprised by his claim. >I don't think you'd find many scientists with expertise in relevant areas who would agree with this chemist's statement.< Dear me, this would be true even if the chemist is correct in his claims. Indeed, it in part would support the claim. The guy was somewhat fruity, I thought, but he did seem to compartmentalize his fruitiness so that it did not impact his science. After all, he did win the Nobel Prize a few years back.
