Curious? Considering that more than hundreds of thousands of people were murdered in Auschwitz with this poison gas, this is only stupid.

Yes, we have the Ptolemaic system--no need to look through the telescope, good professor.

Shut up or I call the inquesition!

I'm just not sure how you fit into the role of Galileo (and how I fit in the role of the church). The history of Auschwitz in the eyes of the histography is established by examination of testimonial, documentary, photographical and archaelogical evidence, your view of Auschwitz seems to be build on empty rethoric and Faith, nothing substantial however -- no need to look at the evidence.

Yes, we have seen examples of how the most absurd propositions can be defended right here on this forum as being the absolute canonical truth which we cannot doubt (by law in some countries).

That does not mean that in all the plethora of balderdash testimonial reinforcing itself that there cannot be some truth to it, of course, but it is grounds for some healthy skepticism. And I think that is perfectly reasonable.

The Ptolemaic system "worked" btw for most celestial problems encounted by ancient and medieval man. Only obscure specialists and those who would not compromise the truth for its own sake (not its political expediency) saw any need to fix a wheel that wasn't broken. But sometimes rather simple experiments are the most disturbing.

Well, I have seen no such propositions "defended right here on this forum as being the absolute canonical truth which we cannot doubt (by law in some countries)" (and I doubt Smith can provide any convincing example), but I've seen lots of repetitive and boring attempts by Smith and others to sell their canonical articles of faith regardless of all evidence to the contrary.

The creed these people adhere to is exemplified by the following statement:
Scott Smith wrote:Here we have a monumental accusation made against Gentiles in general and Germany in particular, that harms the German people--except of course their leaders, and perhaps also the plastic-spoon generation of neo-Germans--and it harms all of the Palestinian people.

Skepticism is indeed reasonable where there is a reason for it.

But if someone professes himself "skeptical" of eyewitness testimonials that happen to be corroborated by other independent eyewitness testimonials and/or perpetrator's depositions and/or documentary and/or physical evidence, without being able to provide anything more than irrelevant or nonsensical plausibility considerations in support of such "skepticism", he comes over as a true believer rather than a skeptic.

Especially if the same fellow uncritically swallows whatever is produced by gurus of his who write stuff like:
Keep the Faith fellow revisionists. The Nazis and the SS were the good guys--but the anti-Nazis and the anti-revisionists dare not admit it for fear of losing their fabulous, ill gotten gains from the war.

It looks like Smith is again out of arguments and lamely trying to mumble his way out of that unpleasant situation.
