  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Not the time to put your head in the sand. You just don't understand science, or God
Says a guy who posted a video of a guy with a bible degree speaking as an expert in a dozen scientific fields.

BTW, are you aware of the fact that the word "gullible" is not in the dictionary? True story.

How many people in the world are permitted to publish a paper in a refereed scientific journal?

Anyone can submit papers for publication. Wheter or not it well be published will be entirely based on the quality and merrit of the paper, not on who's name is written on top of it.

For hat matter, hi ow many journals are there, multiply by how many articles each has printed in the last 20 years. I bet it's less than 60 million (1% of the population of earth.)

So, science is biased/untrustworthy because not every human on earth is publishing papers?
Really?

My claim is that people allowed to submit research to the journals approved by scientists is less than 1%. I got you several reputable counts (by scientists) all under 1%. What do you want?

Once more...
People don't need approval to get published.
Papers need approval to get published.

Anyone can submit a paper for publication.
If it passes peer review (the process where the quality and merrit of the paper is reviewed, in order to pro-filter nonsense from ending up in scientific journals), it will get published. No matter who the author is.
