	<description>I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.</description>

		<description>Hmm... the web-master still hasn&#039;t fixed the rogue italics on this thread. So, it&#039;s up to me, then...

		<description>This is an ancient issue by now, but just for the record, here&#039;s the Ed Mitchell/UFO/Michael Horn post with 1101 (and counting) comments:
http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2008/07/30/followup-ed-mitchell-and-ufo-believers/

Some folks above said the comments were missing.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve been reading some (more) of Nathan Myers&#039; posts/comments, in response to Phil Plait&#039;s blogs ... wow, just wow.

Aside from the weaving and dodging, and aside from the specific content, I get the impression that, in NM&#039;s view, astronomy is not a science and cannot be one ... ever (exception: once probes visit something that was once solely the domain of astronomy, such as the Moon, remote observation can be supplemented by in situ research).

Would you care to say a few words, NM, on what you regard the criteria for assessing whether some piece of astronomical research is scientific or not are?

Back to plasmas, gas, fluid dynamics, etc.

The Sun is a big ball of plasma; to what extent, Nathan, is any study of the Sun unscientific if it does not explicitly and directly incorporate plasma fluid dynamics?

Specifically, are all the papers on the Sun and neutrino physics unscientific for not having explicitly incorporated PFD?</description>

		<description>@Todd W: This blog isn&#039;t really the sort of place to learn much of anything.  Tell you what, from now on I&#039;ll link my name (as above) to places that are better.  I&#039;m afraid there will be a bias toward biology, perhaps because biologists seem to be more aware of what&#039;s amazing than in other fields, or just because more that is biological is amazing.  Don&#039;t expect to get any work done if you start following them.</description>

Nope.  Just incredibly persistent.  My requests for literature and other evidence to further my own understanding of a subject have a tendency to rub certain people the wrong way.</description>
