needs to be more objective than ever and not just assume he is wrong because his claims seem impossible. You need to be especially careful not to do what you dislike in others. You need to give him a chance until all the facts are in. That's all I am asking LadyShea.

It doesn't matter if he was right or wrong, peacegirl. It doesn't matter if his claims seem impossible, even. The problem is he didn't use any normal or standard methods of creating or presenting his work (such as submitting it for peer review to a respected journal or asking for critique or offering his notes and data for readers and reviewers to analyze), and then resorted to crazy sounding letters and lawsuits when he wasn't viewed as a genius.
It looks crazy. If anyone else did the same things you would also say "That person looks crazy". In fact, you yourself have dismissed other people's life work and labeled them "religious nuts" or "cults"
We are not using unreasonable or extraordinary standards to judge this work, we use the same standards for everyone. You use the same standards to judge other people's work. Your dad was special in your eyes, he is not special to the rest of the world.
Do you really have trouble understanding this?
