Not a 'pseudscience' claim, but a question of logic. Since when is science exempt from reason? Where is it written that absurd notions are science, and that to question aburdities tosses the question into the trash bin of pseudoscience? Are we back to the 'what is science' question? Why bother to use our minds, when we can invent fantasies and cloak ourselves in wrapping our brains around the irrational?
