If you're looking to enter into a discussion premised upon Petersen's being
right until proven wrong to your or Joseph's satisfaction, I fear you'll
have a hard time finding interlocutors.
Based on what's been presented so far, none of the list's geologists are
physicists apparently find Petersen -even remotely- credible. The most
