There's an interesting similarity between creationists and germ theory deniers. Both like to point to the flaws in Darwin's theory or Pasteur's germ theory in order to justify their rejection of the theories and preference for "alternate" theories.

Basically, both creationists and germ theory deniers like to focus on Darwin and Pasteur, as if evolutionary theory and germ theory, respectively, had been frozen in amber sometime in the late 1800s and hadn't advanced enormously since then.

Odd assignment of winners and losers, here. While, sure, the importance of terrain doesn't "refute" germs, when so many (most?) epidemiological papers have an entire table for the odds ratios of various concomitant conditions, it's weird to say terrain has "lost".
