I get reviewed and tested by my peers all the time, though I'm not really a scientist. And I'm actively working on devolving on a professional level. askandanswer and Jane_Doe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 I'm not really an evolutionary scientist. But I play one in my family theater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a question testable with the scientific methods. Now scientist may have their personal opinions, but that's all they are. So, your saying a forensic science isnt science then.

It differs greatly from my experience working professionally with evolutionary scientists. Really? You got to be kidding.

Years ago I bought and read Behe's "Darwins Black Box". What did evolutionists say- that it was junk science. Yeah, theres no obvious bias is there?

In my small department we have a man who's an Evangelical presiding elder at his church, Lutheran Sunday School teacher, Evangelical women's group leader, devoted Presbyterian, another LDS man, a devoted Catholic woman, and those are just the people I can think of off the top of my head.

For example, the previous site you linked was completely devoid of any actual science being done. No science = a junk site. mordorbund 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, I've been following this thread for quite a while and enjoyed the exchange. But Rob, this has gone way too far. Godless is an atheist. Jane_Doe is a fully active Mormon who happen to be in a career field in evolutionary science. Please don't make these stupid statements. Now that I've chimed in, let me just say... Rob, you're hailing from a position of butthurt. All your assertions come from your disgust of evolution scientists because of your experience with them. This kind of arguments is what makes scientists - including those who are devout theists - dismiss Intelligent Design (captial I, captial D) discussions. The people in that creation.com site are like you. They come from the same position of butthurt and does nothing but try to demean scientists for their use of science. To them, science is the tool of Satan. That's why scientists dismiss them. Galileo was a scientist who was a very devout Catholic. He presented science that was compatible with his theistic beliefs yet the Catholics condemned him for it forcing him out of the Church against his desire. Tons of evolutionary scientists - including Darwin himself (even as history is harsh on him) - are theists. But they don't wield God like a hammer to bludgeon non-believers with their theistic science. Edited January 18, 2017 by anatess2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not saying she is an atheist, just her response is typically the same response you get from atheists. My point is to show that secular evolutionary theory is backed and promoted by atheism.

You're hiding behind blind stereotypes when evidence to the contrary is standing right in front of you. In a way, you remarks are just like people who say "you're beliefs in Mormonism are typical of an uneducated idiot- Mormonism promotes a lack of education" when they are addressing a college professor who's a devote and educated LDS person.
