Thornhill is in no way associated with Scientology. Rosenfan is engaging in a standard tactic of debunkers....red herring arguments and ad-hominem attacks.

Geez. What is wrong with people? Instead of harming Thornhill's credibility, he has damaged his own (if you are in fact correct.) Thanks.

I never said he was. I was simply pointing the lack of credibility one has when one advocates crazy beliefs that fly in the face of reality. The "Electric Universe" of Thornhill is one such example. Scientology is another. Feel free to use any other nonsensical system of belief or pseudoscience such as astrology, creationism, Illuminati conspiracy theories, etc.

It isn't ad-hominem if it's true.
