ScK5,

I made no claims nor assertions about the validity of the theory. I merely introduced it as germane to a posed question, for discussion purposes. I'm not sure what politics or "Repubs" have to do with this.

You can quibble over my use of the general term "scientist" if you like, but the fact of the matter is that the advocate of the theory, Thomas Gold, was a professor of astronomy at Cornell University. If after reading his obituary you still feel he was not a "scientist", I'd be interested to know why you believe that.
