An Open Letter to the Scientific Community

"Today, virtually all financial and experimental resources in cosmology are devoted to big bang studies. Funding comes from only a few sources, and all the peer-review committees that control them are dominated by supporters of the big bang. As a result, the dominance of the big bang within the field has become self-sustaining, irrespective of the scientific validity of the theory."





This statement is signed by several credentialed scientists. But where's Dr. Tom Van Flandern, who (literally) wrote the book on presumed flaws with Big Bang cosmology ("Dark Matter, Missing Planets and New Comets")?

Could it be he's been excluded from the dissenters' club for advocating the Cydonia region on Mars as evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence? Apparently it's relatively OK to be anti-establishment as long as you're not treading turf already staked out by imbecilic New Age websites and self-appointed "debunkers."
