It goes like this: "I don't know how to explain that data, but your idea doesn't work at all." Allan Allan H. Treiman Senior Staff Scientist Lunar and Planetary Institute 3600 Bay Area Boulevard Houston, TX 77058-1113 281-486-2117 281-486-2162 (FAX) -----Original Message----- From: Mark Jackson [mailto:b0rtz2003_at_yahoo.com] Sent: Monday, May 05, 2003 1:05 PM To: Steve Schoner; meteorite-list_at_meteoritecentral.com Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Southwest Impact Study photos Your unsubstantiated skepticism without proof of alternate hypothesis is unrecognized and counterproductive to science. The evidence of the photos is before you. You must explain its existence contrary to my assertions, based on your observations, before you may assert skepticism. If you want samples to test yourself in that endeavor I'll be happy to provide them to you. Otherwise your skepticism is unrecognized foolery. No scientist will ever trash a published theory without offering his/her own counter theories. That's how science advances. _____ Do you Yahoo!?
