More importantly, the predictions of destruction and devastation are overly exaggerated. 

The Big Bang Theory is Wrong

It defies reason and the scientific method to continually update and modify a theory every time evidence is discovered that contradicts the theory.

A symptom or correlation does not equal cause.  This is obvious to any college freshman studying logical fallacies in English 101.

Applying the theory of relativity to the GPS system makes it non-funtional.  It works fine without relativistic corrections. 

Ever consider the speed of gravity?

Its effect needs to be considered as infinite in order for orbital calculations to work.

Read about the lie used to sell toxic waste for use in drinking water.  Instead, it should be disposed of properly as hazardous waste.

"Silver" amalgam dental fillings continually release toxic mercury.

The mercury is not "bound".  The amount of mercury released by dental fillings is more than from eating fish.  Dental fillings must be disposed of as hazardous waste.  

Vaccines are ineffective.

The proper way to scientifically evaluate vaccines is to take two groups and vaccinate one group and then expose both groups to the disease. Then compare the infection rate between the two groups. Since this kind of human experimentation is immoral and illegal, it is not done. But it would prove conclusively whether or not vaccines are effective. We have some data approaching the design of this controlled experiment in the above link. It appears that vaccinated children were more likely to be infected with the disease. This leads to the conclusion that vaccines not only don't work; they cause disease.
