Given that Crichton wrote the utterly terrible State Of Fear and so was clearly open to abusing science (and scientists!) to match his own opinion rather than use facts... I don't think he is well places to know what science is, let alone be considered an authority on it.

In other words - it means the alternative views have yet to provide any compelling evidence to the contrary.

Kari - Many people don't know that you're an artist as well (mixed media if I remember rightly) do you feel that now you're not as busy with Mythbusters you'll focus more on that side of your life?
Tory - You tended to end up getting.. er.. injured a bunch on Mythbusters. Why do you think that is and what was an incident that didn't make it to TV that you think we'd enjoy?
