Individuals with degrees argue with researchers about the nature of death and the variety of fears one can have towards death. Annoyed researchers check "no."
It's not different than arguing with creationists, Richard Hoagland, 9/11 truthers, or holocaust deniers. They've made up their minds, the facts be damned.
Are you talking about the supporters or the opponents of global warming?
Creationism isn't a search for answers. It is an answer. It fails the test of Occam's razor: it does not adequately explain the observations, and it postulates unnecessary entities. Call it what you like, but it is not science.
Occam's Razor is not a test - It is a postulate that is not necessarily true - IE the simplest answer to life, the universe and everything being: God.
Modern science considers data first and tries to apply Occam's Razor to find the simplest solution given the set of data. By itself, Occam's Razor is an argument for God, not science.

I know there is no God, because there was Clippy.
I think you're comparing the standouts of the past to the masses of today. I think if you compare the appropriate groups you'll see there have been some steps forward and some steps back.
Second of all, I have looked up the actual publication in "Hormones and Behavior", and the p-value associated with their main test is.01, which usually signifies statistical significance.
1 being total positive correlation? Meaning that.01=1/100 times their results will be the case? That would mean 1/100 times people will notice women "displaying" their fertility 60 percent of the time. I might be forgetting something from my statistics class, but those don't seem like exceptionally phenominal results.
Can't help wondering how durable the resulting storage solution will prove to be. Maybe it's just me, but I'm always wary of solutions that use things for purposes they weren't designed for.
How about the internet and porn? Many people use it as a solution for their problems.;)

OMG!!

Jupiter already makes the sun wobble. 18-20x larger would probably not be good. http://tycho.bgsu.edu/~laird/cp_images/wobble.html
