And, science DOES proceed (partially) through weighing arguments.

Evidence isn’t evidence until it’s interpreted through a theory. The best theories are able to withstand criticism (both experimental and logical).

Quite sad: a denialist running a course of what constitutes pseudoscience. Fox guarding the henhouse? If he wanted a fair site, why not bring on an equal to present the pro-science side, rather than a graduate student?

Of course, the website it a classic case – science does not proceed through weighing arguments, it proceeds through weighing evidence. Providing “both sides” (without distinguishing science from pseudoscience) and expecting the public to decide is a classic denialist tactic.
