Debunked a while ago.

Note that the guy who proposed the theory came onto the board after the
debate started.  (Towards the end of the first page.)  Check the method
of his replies: classic example of a crank in action.  (In particular:
the kind of evidence he puts up, his attempts to dismiss as
"unscientific" anything he can't easily disprove, his quickness to
attack the people instead of the criticisms, et cetera.)
