He got a degree in psychology and has never so far as I can see been a scientist. To him this doesn't matter because science is a conspiracy to hide the truth.Vincenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18297306807695767580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15492396.post-14391708778750488252009-10-05T23:50:00.326-05:002009-10-05T23:50:00.326-05:00Haven't watched it all yet, but the UFO confer...Haven't watched it all yet, but the UFO conference title puts me on sceptical guard.<br /><br />First thought: the recent discovery of Ardi probably makes this all out of date, because Ardi indicates an earlier common ancestor than the straw men used in argument by the lecturer.Vincenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18297306807695767580noreply@blogger.com
