Yep, and he was a postal clerk. Although he only took the job as a clerk because it involved plenty of time sitting around, which he wanted so that he could work on his theories...

And certianly scientists have a history of sticking to what they believe they know, and rejecting anything that is too far removed from those theories. And yes, scientists have been wrong before.

But this is something quite different from scientists refusing to accept that the earth's crust was not one solid crust, but was in fact tectonic plates. This is asking us to go against most, or at least a very great deal of what we already know (or think we know) about the earth and the solar system and how it works.

And it sounds VERY sarcastic, and "I'm-so-much-smarter-than-you-are. The greatest scientists in the world have never seen any hint of this, but I have discovered something that overrides all previous theories, from scratch."

And that doesn't sounds particularly scientific to me.
