Quote by: Dadai.2 Orthodoxy: of, pertaining to, or conforming to beliefs, attitudes, or modes of conduct that are generally approved.

Every other word in that definition has nothing to do with science.

Here's an example of how science works:

Muller was never your usual sceptic, picking and choosing his data to shore up an ideological position. He was sceptical only in the proper scientific sense of withholding judgment until he felt persuaded by the evidence. Besides, Muller already stated four years ago that he accepted the consensus view – not because everyone else said so, but because he'd conducted his own research.

_Have_ you ever taken a science class?

Vic, the "orthodoxy" I refer to doesn't pertain to our science discussion per se. Rather, it's about what is considered, by some, as acceptable discourse and opinion here at MJ. I offered an apology for my part in this dust-up. Apparently that is a bit too much for you to take into consideration, so...

Never mind, professor Vic. Return to your podium of science and continue to condescend from on high (which, for you, shouldn't be too difficult).

Ok, in that case I misread you. Apology accepted and I'll throw in one of my own.
