Did you read your article? First of all this does not address getting a degree for the money.
Money is not the only part of the topic here. That was brought in to balance the sacrificial claims of some, and show that a degree is also about money.
Second, your article states "Along with Stanislaw Ulam, Teller designed the first hydrogen bomb. Teller also was influential in the decision by the Truman administration to produce the bomb over the objections of much of the scientific community. "
Which side are you arguing?
The side that science is evil as the day is long in many areas, and is about to destroy life on earth if Jesus didn't stop them. Literally.
"His testimony against physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, the fallout of the H-bomb dispute, made Teller a pariah to many of his colleagues, further diverting his career from science to defense politics, and causing him profound sorrow. Some old associates refused to speak to him for more than 30 years. "
And you just argued against yourself with this
Point? What, that there is good and bad in the little science world? Yes, there is, so?? How would the good help, if the bad killed the good, and the bad, precisely?
"At an early age, Teller said, he learned the fun of mathematics. He would stay awake in bed working out mathematical problems such as computing the number of seconds in a day. His father was unhappy when Teller announced he wanted to be a mathematician.
"My father said I couldn't make a living that way, so we compromised, a little painfully, on chemistry. But I cheated. I studied chemistry and mathematics. After two years, my father gave up and told me to study what I wanted," he recalled. "
How cute, guess he learned to love the bomb.
What in the world does this have to do with a person making decision in the name of money? C'mon dad, this is ridulous. You are making "scientists" look squeaky clean, which they aren't, by linking an artical stating that the community ostracized Teller.
All one has to do is look at over fishing, pollution on earth, WOMD, loss of freedoms, carnage on the highways, porn, and worse on the net, and etc, to see that science is anything but clean. No wonder they often oppose God, and His word.
Again, where is the argument that scientist got into it for the money and where is the argument that their education and choices are equated to TP?
List all the scientists that work for free then? Let's see which side of the scale tips there. Of course money is part of the deal. get over it. Like a lawyer, or a brothel, you simply hire them as needed for your purposes.
If anything, once again, you have shown here that such choices are far from worthless. If anything they can have real consequences. If I were to provide two links as evidence of two scientists that A. didn't go into it for the money-Teller B. their eduction and profession obviously isn't worthless, but dangerous -Elkin, I would use your links.
Great, some are rich enough not to need the money. Nevertheless, if their work is evil, that only makes it worse! If not, well, fine, get to serving me, scientist, and bettering mankind, and don't boast too loudly about your sacrifices, please.
And your brother YEC wants to imply that scientists lack critical thinking. lol, now that's funny.
Not really. I think they think in the box. How would it matter how critical it is there?
Nobody asked you to get personal. I don't want to know your name, where you live, work, etc. Saying that you teach history, run a grocery store, are a stay-at-home-dad, etc is no more personal than stating your gender. The way it looks is that you are in an industry that might forfeit your credibility as the great judge lending to your hypocrisy.
Any professions or similar I may have indulged in were full of bad things. If I were a tent maker, it would be the same thing. The slave labor in China or someplace that is used to make the plastics, or fabrics, perhaps. The fuel used in shipping materials, the crooked salesman maybe involved in getting the product in the right places, etc etc. It is a wicked world, and those of us passing through here must realize that. When we rule the earth, then you can blame us. Until then, I will blame them.
How is your assumption that scientists get their education in the name of money, or that their education and profession is worthless, reliant on the ability to know right and wrong? Please share this twisted pearl of wisdom.
All men, not just scientists need to make a living. If we engage in actively teaching against the bible, and God, then our education is a vile, and wasted thing. If they mind their business, and do the best they can, fine. But don't try and hold a candle to people of faith over history, that died, and suffered for what they believed in, because you got mono at the dorm, or had a hole in a shoe.
Yes it is. And you practice Lashon hara, which I assume you are familiar with.
No. I wear nothing on my eyes.
"
Lashon hara (or
Loshon hora) (
Hebrew לשון הרע; "evil tongue") is the prohibition in
Jewish Law of telling
gossip, truthful remarks about a non-present person or party. It should not be confused with the prohibition of
Motzei Shem Rah, slander, untrue remarks.
How many people are non present at a debate forum? If they are, they ought to get with it.
The main prohibition against
lashon hara is derived from
Leviticus 19:16
[1] : "Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people; neither shalt thou stand idly by the blood of thy neighbour: I am the LORD.".
My people are not anti god myth makers. My tales are generally about the myths, and lies, not personal. Get a grip.
The
Talmud (tractate
Erchin 15b) lists
lashon hara as one of the causes of the Biblical malady of
tzaraath. In Sotah 42a, the Talmud states that habitual speakers of
lashon hara are not tolerated in
God's presence. Similar strong denouncements can be found in various places in Jewish literature.

Cheer up, the talmud isn't tolerated in His presence either!
You engaged in the Lashon Hara in this very thread.
Jesus, Paul, and anyone that was anyone would have fought the rulers of darkness of this world. Call it what you like, it's fun. It is a good thing. Principalities, and powers, and rulers of the darkness of this world, in case you missed it, are responsible for the assault on truth, and God, and His word.
If, in the assailing of such things, and spiritual forces behind the scenes, someone is so closely tied together with it, that they get their feeling hurt, too bad.
They throw fiery darts, stones are the least I could do.
Translation - "I do nothing worthy of being judge and jury"
being worthy in God's sight is not from anything we do. It is from what Jesus did, and us getting behind that.
Look in the mirror when you discuss man's righteousness because you seem to be drowning in your own.
I have the righteousness He gives, not my own, thanks. It doesn't get any better than that.
I try to.
I think it's poor form to use people as you will and then berate them.
I don't berate plumbers, or scientists that serve me well, etc. I berate liars, and high priests of the anti god myths.
That's called stereotyping and when you throw it in your negative light it's closer to bigotry. One thing educated people have in common is that they are educated. Beyond that you are stereotyping.
Another thing they have in common is a high percentage of acceptance for anti God wickedness, as I pointed out. Deep down, you must know I am right there.
Oh, please. It would be like saying the rantings of some christians speak for christianity. Here's a little "in" for you. I work with dozens of scientists, hundreds in my time, and you know what? God never comes up.
No accident, I assure you! Thanks for fessing up.
You, and christianity never come up. No one cares. Most are simply concerned with their work. The few who have an agenda is just that, a few.
Bully for them, that they are concerned with themselves, and their 'work'. A lot of that work is as wicked as the day is long, by the way. If they happen to be working on just the good bits, fine, but I am suspicious if God never comes up!! That should clue you in right there.
