Reply #85: He's criticisizing the change in theory by aligning it with the right wing.

It's not about the conference, it's a claim that this new viewpoint is aligned with right wing groups.
Right here: "I did read these articles after you suggested I do so... it is just like the Discovery Institute, intelligently hidden religious propaganda."

I listed the people who delivered information at the conference and their affiliations and asked
that any right wing agenda from those people be identified. That response has not been forthcoming
and it won't be because these are not a bunch of right wing scientists who fit the facts to meet
their political agendas.

These are not nutty professors, they're serious academics. Are they right or wrong? I don't know
but the attack on their views should not be based on guilt by failure to prove any association
whatsoever with right wing groups.
