Science, Creation & EvolutionInteresting discussion from Steven Jones on leaving theJM: Why is it that you feel it necessary to put a small personal attack in every post? I don't think any of us (including you) are spamming this board. We are offering up a discussion. You may not like our posts or agree with them, but that does not make them spam. On to your other question... I think we should all remember that degrees do not necessarily make any of our arguments correct. At the same time, our qualifications do indicate a certain amount of time spent studying and reading about our respective fields. I have a BS and MS in Geology from the University of Florida and a Ph.D. in Geology from the University of Michigan. That means I've spent a lot of time studying geology and on matters geological I can speak with some authority. That does not mean I am correct, only that I can speak about the topic with some depth of knowledge. Someone else mentioned this, but it bears repeating. You would not go to a neurosurgeon who happens to drive a standard transmission to diagnose a problem with the clutch of your car. You would not ask a kindergartner to help you with your 1040 form. It's ok to question the declarations of experts, but it's also wise to remember that they have a much deeper understanding of the topic than someone with no training in the topic. Most of us (you included) do a lot of reading outside of our respective fields. We should respect that in each other. That's why I've been quite adamant about the lack of scholarly published research on the part of ye-creationists (on the topic of ye-creationism). I know that this is how science is done and how science makes progress. Cheers Joe Meert |
