Big Mistake

Richard Dawkins' has an argument on the enormity of error that is implied when a rebel goes against the establishment in challenging the status quo. He is exploring the implications of two British engineering professors claim that the Earth is only 6,000 years-old, and that the theory of evolution violates the second law of thermodynamics. Science is open to its accepted theories being completely wrong -- and ever so often, that turns out to be the case -- but it's a risky bet going up against the scientific establishment, especially when you have no proof to offer as to why your against-the-grain theory is actually correct.
