Here's a way that might help you deal with your anger and frustration pointed at Mr. Adams. Think of crackpots as being a natural consequence of the way nature produces positive change. Science evolves in a way that has some analogies to life itself-- it starts with a working paradigm but then modifies it to adapt to new challenges from the experimental "environment". What survives is what succeeds, and what fails becomes extinct, in scientific thought. For a process like that to work, just as with evolution of life, you inevitably have some failed experiments. Basically, you have birth defects. Think of Adams' ideas as being the intellectual equivalent of scientific birth defects. A tragic thing, but an inevitable offshoot of successful evolution of scientific thought.

And frankly, the fact that ideas like that find some level of popularity is actually a good thing for science and for human intellectual development, because it means there is still room in the "niche" for some experimentation. Far worse would be a situation where free thinking is squelched, because the next step after brutally suppressing wrong ideas is brutally suppressing right ones. So lighten up, it's also better for your blood pressure. The fact that Adams takes himself seriously, and some of his followers, is no reason for you to do so. Sure, he's an offensive joke, but even an offensive joke can make you laugh if it is funny enough.
