Real scientists do not "gather evidence in support of" any theory. The

technical term for that kind of thing is "cherry-picking". Real scientists

build a theory to explain the evidence that they have already gathered,

and then test the theory to see whether it holds water. The easiest,

fastest way to make sure that you are regarded as a wingnut by real

scientists is to adopt or invent a theory, and then spend your time

trying to prove it.
