Some scientists are so confident of their superior intellect that they never doubt their own ideas. Even wild speculation is passed off as science, because it is a scientist speaking.

This guy has had scientific training, but he's just a nut job. Wild speculation does not become science just because someone who was scientifically educated came up with the ideas. In order for a scientific hypothesis (not theory) to be genuine, it must be logically based in known facts--which this guy's speculation is not. In the science world, a theory is not speculation--it is the framework that ties together and explains a body of knowledge in a specific subject.

That's the way it's SUPPOSED to be.

It's clearly stepped over that line lately.
