Creation & EvolutionForum for the discussion of this important topic. This forum is open to non-believers. There is a Christians-only forum in the Christians-only section too.
I am just curious as to the background/education/ profession of many of the posters here. When a biologist makes a claim compared to a high school student, it makes a difference to me in how I weigh it.
I will start:
I do NOT have a biological science education. I minored in anthropology in college, but my degree is in graphic design.
I have read half a dozen books on evolution, and use them as reference when I debate evolution. I visit talk.origins regularly. But I am not an expert, just an interested student .
What about you?
__________________ I find it amusing, that on the one hand that although science and reason provide us with a very workable method of explaining this universe, the Christian would argue that since it cannot be proved, we should feel free to discard it. Yet we should assume that ancient authorless and dateless manuscripts somehow prove the existence of some being true as a presupposition.

I don't have a biological science education either. I did take biology in grade 10, and got 96% in it, if that counts, hehe.
I have a diploma in Digital Animation, and hope to get a degree later on in religion or philosophy.

HA! 99.13% here!

My backgroung in biology is 3 years in high school during which I got 19/20, numerous documentaries many of which produced by the blasphemous BBC and a few hundred hours or so reading on the net.
Oh I forgot that I also have a degree in Microcomputer systems eng. during which I was informed of the existance of evolutionary algorithms in programming. Hehe.

I took the AP Bio test and got a 5. That's the extent of my biology education background. I'm currently working on my undergrad in Math and Computer Science, and will be attending graduate school in CS in the Fall. I hope to do research in genetic algorithms, which was invented by Satanists in an attempt to lure Christians into evolutionary thinking.
I am a High School student with a few biology classes under my belt.
Five of them were with one teacher, a Mrs. Parks, who had been working with the CDC. She taught the class on a bloody college level...she made certain that by the time we left that class, we were experienced in proper wet lab technique, actual wet lab practice, professional lab reports and lab procedures -- not to mention that we knew the material like the backs of our hands.
I took Honors Biology, Microbiology, Genetics, AP Biology (5!), and an independent study into Epidemiology with her.

Wow, what state do you live in? I wish my high school had courses like that. Is it a private school? It's amazing to see a high school offer such high level courses.
CS degree, minor in mathematics. A few classes in biology and anthropology. I don't even consider remarking on genetics. I leave that to others, though I like to respond to obvious absurdities. I especially despise those who say the chances of life occurring are one in a gazillion.
and a few hundred hours or so reading on the net.
