I'm basing this on the chapter in Super Freakoninics though (recommended read), which will be out of date in terms of recent thinking/research.
It's one of those things where there is no real debate it's just people saying stupid shit because they read something once and actually reading science is hard so fuck that. It's all well and good trying to find holes in science, it's kind of the point, but when people say things then get told an answer and ignore it anyway I just lose interest.

Funny thing is science says one thing big industry has reason to want it to be false so spends a bit of money to discredit the idea and then it gets taken over by conspiracy theorists who back the big industry they otherwise think control the world because fuck having consistent coherent ideas about things.
