are we reading the same text
the paragraph at the bottom of the page just mentions his two pseudoscience books
voices of the rocks gets 3 mentions and voyages of the pyramid builders gets two
so its not a frank declaration of "his views as a scientist"
its juts a sales pitch
I was quite surprised that they both don't hotlink to Amazon

From Wikipedia, this is pretty much the bare-bones picture of Dr. Schoch.
I'm about finished promoting him to this group, as we have discussed him and his accomplishments quite a bit here.
I listened to him on a radio show tonight - more and more people flock to his viewpoints. It's worth the time for members, readers, et al, to take a look at his professional journey to date.

Digit, I couldn't figure out what you were talking about for a minute. I was already starting to reply to you when I figured it out.
Later let me tell you about quotes.

Todays facts are often tomorrow's foolishness and todays speculation is often tomorrow's fact. It is natural for people to talk and wonder when real facts are missing or scarce. Its not worth condemning people, as long as we know its only speculation and we're not trying to sell lies as if they are the truth. Words like "what if...", "perhaps...", "could it be possible...", they are speculation. IMO it is healthy to ask these questions.

Absolutely Monk. There are usually three sides to every debate, yours, the other chaps, and the correct one.
With the record of the accepted view of experts to go on I would be loathe to support any established opinion till I see real proof.
The kit for nailing your colours to the mast should come with a list of excuses as to how to explain you were wrong without looking completely stupid.
History is the grave yard of reputations.
