I was listening to a GW believer this morning. When he was

went on and used the peer reviewed comment at least 7 times and
said the papers were peer reviewed and, therefore MUST BE VALID. Of
course, he failed to mention that the peers were in on the
scam, as has been proven in a couple cases by their own words. He
claims the counter data has NOT been peer reviewed when in
reality, it certainly has.
Weren't Galilei and Kopernikus peer reviewed and judged to be wrong?
And yet, the earth is round and was not the center of the universe.

No, but Galileo and Copernicus were. :-)



Sorry, Frank, but Kopernikus was German, and his birth certificate
clearly identifies by his German name, Nikolaus Kopernikus.

As to Galileo, his full name was Galileo Galilei.
