Why is still open to debate.

I confess to not even reading it. One thing sticks out though a a first blush. The rw denies science. We now have a group in there that says the opposite of everything we had known is true. Fact based analysis escapes them, as policy. Folks who think a trip to "The Noahs Ark Museum" don't inform my philosopy, or intellect. May be 100% correct as a story, but, I don't get my hard evidence of anything from this bunch.
For the time being, I'm personally going to stick w pre-dt science.

To dissuade people from trusting science?

I choose my outlets. The post stands as written.

Never found their articles terribly controversial, but I'm no scientist so could be wrong.

I said from the beginning I didn't read it. In this day and age I have to look at the big picture in my mind. The big picture is, Sinclair, folks screaming fake news...that clearly isn't, cheating and lying etc. and a group of folks who have so much money they can sit in a barca lounger and write a check to get someone to say anything. For the time being I'm holding off any big deviations in what I think, and have been informed about. Just my opinion. I won't be going on and on about this with you. That's all I have to say.

"I think, therefore I am"? I am a deist, I believe there is something larger than us, but I also believe that something intended for us to use the noggins that we were given and reason.

of what reads like a deliberately cryptic and smug remark that reeks of anti-science.

Seemed a small issue. Just don't think every comment necessitates a page of clarification. That's how I felt. That's how I feel about going on about it. Hang loose.

How do you know which one you are?

Not buying it.

OK, we are on Sun Version 2.0. Sun Version 1.0 blew up about 5 billion years ago, creating all the stardust we are made of: The heavier elements did not fly as far (iron, a core ingredient in our rocky earth), water flew further away (lighter), and the gaseous giants (e.g. Jupiter and Saturn, but don't forget Neptune and Uranus) are the result of methane and other lighter gasses being flinged out further. Hence the speculation that Pluto, a rocky planet way out, is really captured and not a part of the explosion that created our system.

When Sun Version 1.0 blew up, it was a pure hydrogen reactor, the gasses that coalescent for current Sun Version 2.0 are both hydrogen and helium.

If sulfur is so rare, and only happens when real giant stars super-nova, then how big was Sun Version 1.0? Was it a super-giant?

More fun facts: Betelgeuse, the red star forming the right shoulder of Orion (from Orion's point of view looking at us), may be as large as our entire solar system. It is, in galactic time, about to blow, if it hasn't already (the light might not have reached us yet, it is 640 light years away).
