 Is being either a requisite to dismiss a theory on the basis of lack of
evidence? The consensus in the scientific community is that the idea is
bunkum. Are you advocating that the unproven and preposterous should be
considered factually valid, until such time sufficient proof is found to
determine that they are in fact invalid? Neither Penrose nor Hameroff have
provided any serious evidence in support of their theory
