Gotta love the quality of these links that these quality scientists give to their work:
http://education.vsnl.com/sankhyakarika/
http://www.kolbecenter.org/
http://www.ebicom.net/~rsf1/
Yahoo
http://www.antidogma.ru/
http://www.eugenesittampalam.com/ (see the link for anti-gravity at http://www.beardmuseum.com/ses/AntiGravity.htm)
(etc - and these are just the people who *posted* their links!)
To some of these sorts of people, the Gaia Hypothesis would seem too mainstream. Lets look at some of their quality, applicable positions:
"Independent researcher" (lots and lots of these!)
"US Naval Sea Systems Command (ret.)"
"Engineering consultant, Sri Lanka"
(etc)
The companies are *almost always* not applicable at all:
Kaz group -
The MITRE Corporation
http://superconix.com/
(etc)
Of the names that are from universities, the vast majority are not from applicable fields:
Tom Walther: Senior programmer and systems analyst
Michael A. Duguay: Electrical engineering and data processing
Jonathan Chambers: Postgraduate psychology research student
(etc)
Several of them don't show up in faculty listings for their claimed universities. Several of them can't even be found on the net outside this list.
This list is a complete joke. Very few of these people are even in remotely related fields. Perhaps one in 40 of these people is in a position to accurately comment about the accuracy of the big bang.
In short, this list isn't worth the paper it's written on (for which it isn't written on any)

As to science, it doesn't matter what comes after your name or what field you have received your degree in.
1) If you're using the people as authories on the subject (the point of this list), it most certainly does. It is deceptive to treat a person who works for a business solutions company or a person who considers themselves an "independent researcher" on things like antigravity as if they're some sort of big bang expert.
.
2) When the aforementioned people freely provide links to sites full of obvious pseudoscience, that's another pretty darn big hit.
3) Pardon me if I don't care what a postgraduate psychology student thinks about the big bang. Now, if they were to come here to debate....
Darwin had about as much training as was possible at the time, so the analogy is moot. And I'll grant you that many people who work in fields unrelated to the big bang may well know something about it. But to pretend that these are experts or even people involved in anything related to the big bang is completely dishonest. I doubt the vast majority of these people have ever even touched a telescope or read a single paper from a scientific journal on the subject.

"Illuminant light,
illuminate me."
