Huxley Quote
MM
Thomas Henry Huxley (1825-1895), British biologist.
Should keep this in mind when evaluating claims, such as all the weight loss
and health one which are so common in the Internet, usenet group and the mass
media.

Very true.
Need to keep in mind several things.
There is a scientific method which scientists follow.
Scientists use professional scientific journals and meetings as a way
to present findings.
An exception, no matter how extreme, to a theory means the theory is
not correct.
Finally, remember the non-scientific "smell test." The idea that has
been presented that 2 pounds of peanut butter or two pounds of celery
in all people if different sizes and activities works is a prime
example of not passing the "smell test." Be very skeptical and
remember that these should be able to meet all the criteria of any
other claim.
Scientists can certainly be people who believe in God, but still base
science on scientific principles.

Not always.

Incorrect, it means that the theory has an exception.

Has no place in science by your own admission.
You and M and M's haven't a bloody clue.

Your nose is as reliable as your posts.

Wrong again.

Science was a class you obviously slept through.

So are there exceptions to the 2PD or none as Chung claims?
Are two pounds of peanut butter the same as 2 pounds of celery and are two
pounds of dehydrated figs the same as 2 pounds of fresh figs.

You can't tell the difference between PB and celery?
