Jag har egentligen inget som helst problem med folks tro, lev och låta leva är min inställning på den fronten. Men det vore kanske mer överensstämmande med verkligheten om du istället för att kalla Michael Cremo för "vetenskapshistoriker och världsledande forskare" påtalade det faktum att han är hinduisk kreationist och har avfärdats av seriösa forskare för att han inte ens har grundläggande arkeologisk kunskap
Vetenskapliga tidskrifter som recenserat Michael Cremos "Forbidden Archeology":
"Michael Cremo, a research associate in history and philosophy of science, and Richard Thompson, a mathematician, challenge the dominant views of human origins and antiquity. This volume combines a vast amount of both accepted and controversial evidence from the archeological record with sociological, philosophical, and historical critiques of the scientific method to challenge existing views and expose the suppression of information concerning history and human origins."
Journal of Field Archeology, Vol. 21, 1994, p. 112.
"I have no doubt that there will be some who will read this book and profit from it. Certainly it provides the historian of archeology with a useful compendium of case studies in the history and sociology of scientific knowledge, which can be used to foster debate within archaeology about how to describe the epistemology of one's discipline."
Tim Murray, in British Journal for the History of Science, Vol. 28, 1995, p. 379.
"It must be acknowledged that Forbidden Archeology brings to attention many interesting issues that have not received much consideration from historians; and the authors' detailed examination of the early literature is certainly stimulating and raises questions of considerable interest, both historically and from the perspective of practitioners of sociology of scientific knowledge."
Jo Wodak and David Oldroyd, in Social Studies of Science, Vol. 26(1), 1996, p. 196.

Michael Cremo:
Well, some of my material has been published in peer reviewed scientific publications. Also, I submitted my book to all the relevant professional journals for review, and the book was in fact reviewed in about a dozen professional scientific journals.
Förresten, skulle det vara en större merit att vara en
Big Bang-kreationist (som de flesta vetenskapsmän är) än att vara en "hinduisk" kreationist?
