As I have said before, I wasn't called to be a scientist. God didn't gift me here for that purpose
Stop calling it a "gift". You obviously consider the same kind of gift as pile of feces with a pretty bow. Otherwise you wouldn't tell science it can "take a hike" repeatedly.
And as you guys so plainly make it: whether a person is technologically-challenged like I am, or scientifically-educated like [the late] Dr Henry Morris, it [really] means nothing to you guys.
The only thing that matters to you guys is Who we stand for.
WRONG. Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong.
I personally have many more friends who are Christian than atheist. The person I think is the smartest living human I have ever met (or ever likely will meet) is one of my closest friends. He's a christian and a philosophy professor with a significant expetise in medieval christian thought. I have one friend whom I respect so much I've written several letters of reference for him. He's a
very strongly outspoken Christian and even a "creationist".
Funny how you can be so very, very wrong.
Would you pay more attention to a point shot down by Dispensation Theology, if the Dispensationalist was a holder of a Ph.D. in Geology, and a Ph.D. in Chemistry?
Dispensation theology hasn't got a say in anything in geology or chemistry. I've worked in both fields.
Would you pay less attention to a point shot down by Dispensation Theology, if the Dispensationalist was a holder of an AA in Business Administration
So is Dispensational Theology important in Business Administration? It certainly stands to reason since we appear to be entering the most recent dispensation of "Moron Business" if the current economy is any example.
(but then, I have a Christian icon, so I guess I'm a magnet for this sort of stuff).
It isn't your "Christian Icon" that draws people to criticize your commentary, AV. It is the material you post (your non-stop pride in your ignorance of science mixed in with your constant criticism of science and telling it, it can take a hike). However, that all being said, you at least know some things in science like Rayleigh Scattering. Kudos. Now expand it to include those areas you often discuss like the Noachian Flood and geology.
But if you need to feel persecuted, you can just make up whatever excuse you want to.
Now, if your "Christianity" requires you to be;
1. Proud of your personal ignorance
2. Attack fields you have confessed you are unfamiliar with
Well, you can line me up with attacking that particular "theology". But since I
personally know that isn't a necessary part of Christianity, again, it isn't because of your Christianity you get responses as you get.
Again, you're preaching to the choir here. Save that for Thaumaturgy or MrGoodBytes or whomever. I'll be waiting to see what they [don't] have to say.
Ha ha! Well, indeed the sky does "appear blue". You see, AV, the kind of chemistry I do is related to "coatings", so I've spent quite a bit of time doing something called "Colorimetry" over the years (NOTE:
not calorimetry, but colorimetry). This is a very unique and interesting field but relies on color as containing aspects
not only of the spectral power distribution of incoming radiation, but also
the perception of an observer.
I recommend you read up on it a bit.

(I bet you won't care enough about this to bother with it either! But isn't it amazing to you how you can be beaten to the punch by a scientist again and again! It amazes me how scientists are so curious and adaptable that we find ourselves learning life-long. It never stops for us. That is what makes our lives rich. I feel for folks who stopped learning after they got their Associates Degree.)
But more to Psudopod's point; science "explains" in that it attempts to understand as best it can. We realize we are flawed and human and will likely never know
everything. Unlike some folks who, mysteriously, think they have a "lock" on absolute TRUTH (c) but can't really defend it worth much.
Maybe more learning is in order for them.
That's our fault, Psudopod. We Christian don't make enough money to be taxed for your programs; and the ones that do belong in prison, right?
Do you think "theoretical physicists" and scientists in general make a lot of money???? Oh my! You can't be that hilariously naive. Maybe I'm missing your point here.
You see, I'll never see as much money in my lifetime as the dude who majored in Business Management down the aisle from me. Few people go into science for the big bucks.
