No, I don't know. Good thing you are here to tell me.

Do you not know how rude that is, to just quote part of a person's comment to you and respond only to a single pair of words?

My aunt had a phd and taught at boston college.
Is you aunt also your son?
She said if you can get through college graduate school is easy in comparison. Which seems to be what you are saying.
If by "easy" you mean there is not an attempt to eliminate candidates after admission, but before, then sure.
I was content with an associate degree level because they do all the work. I did the shop drawing from the blue prints because no one could build anything from the blue prints. They do very little of the math. Although today with the computer maybe it does all of the math for them. When I studied Trig a computer was the size of a room.
Now we're really getting far astray.

It looks like you do not know how rude you are and how you want to accuse others of what you are guilty of doing.

You're doing it again. What you are doing, just quoting part of a person's comment and responding that singular part, is just extremely rude.

Yes Harvard is difficult to get in but they graduate 95%. As they have already mentioned most people who flunk out of engineering just transfer to another college in the university. I took some classes that used a base 12 and I transfered to take an engineering class but I could not adjust to using a base 10. It was interesting though working with all the different shapes. When we think about all the containers we buy and how they hold an exact amount.

I do what I do so that people have no problems to understand what I am saying. I actually took four teacher training classes and we studied how Jesus would teach. Of course they did get mad at Him also. I think they wanted to stone him at one point. Better off to talk nonsense so people do not know what you are saying .

Jesus put up with a lot on our behalf.

Does God put it on a scale to see if the good outweighs the bad?

I'd say He does something on that order.

1 Timothy 6:20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:

And note here, where Paul equates evolution (endless genealogies) with fables:

1 Timothy 1:4 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.

As well as correctly pointing out that it just genders more and more questions; as well as the fact that it doesn't do any godly edifying.

And that's certainly true, in view of the fact that [theistic] evolution depicts Adam as a mutant copy-error, made in the likeness and image of God.

Science is all about a method to determine what is wrong and what is right.

But science starts out way wrong, then very gradually works its way up the ladder.

I would like to think science would eventually catch up to Truth this side of the Rapture, but God says it'll never happen that way.

2 Timothy 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Well, it would be a good thing if you recognised the sensible advice, implicit and explicit, you are receiving from several members. Unfortunately your posts to date are diagnostic of a closed mind. I encourage you to make better use of your education. I don't know how to phrase that without it sounding patronising, but I hope you get the positive intent.

And note here, where Paul equates evolution (endless genealogies) with fables:
Luke and Matthew both contain genealogies from Adam and Eve to Jesus. They kept them recorded in the temple and they were destoyed when they tore the temple down. I think it is fair to equate that with evolution. A lot of that is fable and a lot of that is endless disputes.

Do you not know how rude that is,
I know how rude people on this forum are. I am surprised that AV puts up with it. I also know that people always judge others for what they are guilty of. So instead of judging people they should clean up their own back yard. Or as Jesus said take the log out of their eye so they can see more clear to take the speck out of their "brothers" eye.

Why do you feel the need to not even make the attempt to respond to a post in full? Because what you are doing, just quoting tiny snippets of a persons comment to respond to them out of context, is just rude, no ifs, ands, or buts about it.

He is on my ignore list, the last straw was when he said my sister should burn in hell for being an atheist, he has called me a crook, he has gaslighted me, he attacks science which is an attack on me as a scientist.
There are two sides for every story.

And that's just sad and is still no excuse for you doing what you do.
Now we know about you but what about me?
People are always guilty of what they accuse others of.

In Matthew 7:1, Jesus says, “Judge not, that ye be not judged.” This statement encourages humility and self-awareness. When we judge others, we invite judgment upon ourselves. The standards we use to judge will be applied to us as well 1. Essentially, treat others with kindness and compassion, and you’ll receive the same treatment in return 2.
