Beans Maroc was replying to dimples82 (also/formerly posting as bigred45). Geoscientists and engineers working in natural resources, particularly oil and gas, are more 'skeptical' than those working in pure research or in other areas where their employment is less dependent on fossil fuel exploration and production. The overly-high opinion some engineers hold of their knowledge outside there own areas of expertise also plays a role.

Of course the laws of nature don't care.
