Bye Bye Ape Man!!!

How so?

I'm pretty sure that out of all areas of science, mathematicians have the highest percentage of theists.

Yep, with biologists having the lowest.

You can be a mathmatician and not be a scientist.

You can be a mathmatician and not be a scientist.

But can you be a scientist and not be a mathematician?

But can you be a scientist and not be a mathematician?

It depends on your definitions of "scientist" and "mathematician".

Now there's a mathematician's answer for you...

(Incidentally, what's the source for the assertion about the proportion of theist mathematicians?)

Here you go. Last paragraph before the table.

Thanks. I'm heartened to see the differences are minor!

I hear two sounds:

1. the evolution House of Cards tumbling, and
2. the evolutionists trying desperately to "spin" the new finding

The only thing tumbling down is Humpty Dumpty and all Creations soldiers!

Whether you like it or not you are descended from apes. If you refuse this then Never again seek medical care, for you refute the science of medicine and in fact all science.

Geologist

Geologist

I am a geologist first and foremost, and yes I use considerable math, this is probably due to me taking my geology to the next step, that is, hard rock geology and analytical chemistry.

I would be the first to admit that under grad geology can be a bit weak nowadays, but not many people with under grad geology degrees become geologist, you need to take it further and to a higher level, i.e. Masters Degree and/or PhD.

My PhD was geology based, with the field area being in the west of Scotland. I spend 3 days in the field and 2.5 years running analysis with lasers and mass spectrometers. In fact the biggest part of my PhD was math based, and consisted of developing mathematical formulas for the de-convolution of multiple signals, I was not a pretty sight at 3.30 in the mornings.

Geology is a multi discipline subject, and if taken far enough you have to develop multiple skills, including math, physics, chemistry and biology.

I think it was the multi discipline aspects of geology that excited me, partially has I had already completed a degree in physics and planetary science, which was the result of reading literature by Carl Sagan, who I will always be grateful too for putting pen to paper.

Don't blame me, the thread was completely derailed when I found it!
