Alex,

I listened to your debate and wobbled back and forth with the debate - eventually concluding that you had less separating you than you seem to think!

Your remarks about how the debunkers have plenty of real bunk to work with, and they just get a bit carried away was fair. However, you also seemed to be making Chris' point when you described how skeptiks will raise an issue and never back down if they are proved wrong - just slide over to another point, and another, and another. I think a fair-minded skeptic would pull up short at some point and recognise that they simply were not treating the subject honestly - which doesn't seem to happen often!

Having said that, I am sure the debate has to go on, and I expect a tipping point will arrive sooner or later.

David
