"Scientists are the most gullible people on earth according to the Amazing Randi."
The Amazing Randi is amazingly ignorant.
He should read about pre-Columbian dating disputes concerning Clovis First theories.
Scientists are VERY cautious by nature and trying to get them to change earlier assumptions is difficult without a mountain of data.
