You are not a scientist. You may go away.
I accept this avoidance of the issue as tacit acknowledgement by you that you lied. It would have enhanced your reputation if you had done so openly, rather than confounding the deceit by adopting this obvious and irrelevant change of subject. ( Bungle Bear's status as a scientist has no bearing on whether or not you lied.)
The damage this behaviour is doing to your integrity is troubling. I urge you to reflect upon that and think more carefully about the accuracy and honesty of future posts that you make.

As long as a person is more knowledgeable than students, he is a good teacher by default. It is up to the students to learn, but not up the teacher to teach.

Teachers are often trapped between short-sighted administrators and distracted students. Many don't have enough life experience to deal with the kids, or enough power to change the system. And of course in this day and age many teachers carry heavy burdens of personal baggage, and debt, as well. Not a good situation.

He made a very ignorant scientific statement.

Of course, a teacher is also a human who lives in a human society.

I'm a great teacher, except on the forums. :(

Unfortunately my students aren't so good at learning what I'm teaching.
Yes, i am sure your Sunday School munchkins gobble up your God talk, but that doesn't work so well with adults who have more relevant education (and much less ego and desperation) than you do.

Relax. You are taking this waaaay too seriously. :)
So, what was your actual point in starting this thread?

Was it NOT to imply that rabbits really do 'chew the cud'? And was that not to imply that you had 'yet another' proof of bible lore being 100% true?

And now that your folly has been exposed, you are trying to backtrack a bit, and imply that you were not really being serious?

Relax. You're taking this waaaaaay too seriously. (I see that you are ignoring my invitation to debate concerning pi. Curious.)

That is a horrendous statement to make and is just down right daft. It is not down to one person or the other.

And you tried to weasel in a yes as well. That was rather intellectually dishonest, wasn't it?

My answer stands.

Are you looking for an answer, or an apology?

Yeah, we all saw your answer where you tried to get around it bny saying both yes and no. No one was fooled.

Are you looking for an answer, or an apology?

I'm looking for you to actually think for yourself and not try to have it both ways just because you can't deal with the cognitive dissonance.
