No. There isn't.

The evidence was stated in this newsgroup and you have either ignored it
or failed to see it. You are at liberty of course to ignore it if you
wish and I have no intention of spending more time repeating it.

By "failed to see" I take it you mean "disagree with you".

The so-called "evidence" you have put forward has not in any way been
ignored. In fact, a number of people in this group have spent
considerable time examining it in a great deal of detail. The result of
these examinations is that your "evidence" has been seriously
questioned and a great many difficulties have been raised regarding it.
Many of these criticisms have taken very substantial forms---such as
experiments, mathematical and statistical analyses, etc.

You have assiduously---and often adamantly---refused to reply in a
substantive form to any and all queries and criticisms. What you cannot
accept is the fact that your "evidence" and your conclusions regarding
it have not been swallowed whole and unquestioningly. Anyone who fails
to do this is assumed by you to have "ignored" your "evidence" when in
fact they did nothing of the kind. Their offense---in your eyes---was
to have questioned it at all.

If any one has ignored or failed to see anything, it is you and you
certainly are in no position to point a finger at anyone else in this
regard . . . let alone regard yourself as a scientist.

I have always maintained that no definite conclusion can be made until
there is more evidence. It is poor science to be dogmatic until then.

You wouldn't know good science from poor science if it sneaked up
behind you and went "boo!"

Your statement that you have "always maintained that no definite
conclusion can be made until there is more evidence" sounds all well
and good . . . except that you've never really stated just what that
evidence ought to be---which leaves you just the opening you need.
Whenever evidence is discovered that is contrary to your dearly held
beliefs, you can simply lean back, cross your arms and smugly say,
"Well, that may be so, but I'm going to wait until more evidence comes
in." You can keep this up indefinitely.

But if you really understood what "good science" is, you would
understand that your responsibility is to state what evidence it would
take to falsify your idea, not prove it. But that, of course, would
open you up to catastrophe.
