Michelle, this fellow is actually a religious scholar who doesn't speak on an issue without being aware of a wide range of research on it, and the stuff you are talking about is...well bunk. I know you mean well, but the evidence is world-wide and uncontroverted by real science. I'm sure the guy you know in a small town in Florida is not engaged in real earth-shattering (if you'll forgive the pun) scientific research.
