Obviously not true.

How profound, and informative.

The problem is that you seem to know that the creationist explanation is a terribly failed one.

Only on paper.

 

[AirPo]

Only on paper.

The Bible says it, that settles it.

Any idea how funny that is?

 

[AirPo]

How profound, and informative.

I was warned, but I figured giving the benefit of the doubt couldn't hurt. Didn't take long to learn the truth.

 

[lesliedellow]

Only on paper.

Doubtless it is an astounding success on papyrus.

How profound, and informative.

At one time, I was almost convinced that these guys were sincere about their scientific method, until I learned that Pluto was no longer considered a planet, and saw these guys automatically ... automatically ... without question or complaint ... accept the IAU ruling, despite the fact that it was and still is contested.

It was then that I lost almost all my respect for them and they became "paper scientists" or "Internet scientists" in my mind.

I then noticed that amateurs shove the scientific method down our throats as well.

People who can't even spell very well or use proper grammar, telling me I need an education in the sciences is highly suspect to me.

Don't try to woo me with big scientific formulas and paradigms, if you can't first tell me the seven dispensations, and the order that they came in, what was expected of mankind during each one, and what judgement of God was initiated when each one failed.

Until then, I don't want to hear E is MC squared, and light travels at a constant, and we're descended from some jungle beast, who descended from a fish, and all that other bologna.

Oh, I'm sure it's hilarious.

Mark 5:40a And they laughed him to scorn.

I hear you, their motto...from goo to you by way of the zoo.

In my humble opinion, some of them, if not most, has the mindset that everyone that disagrees with their views is just plain stupid. At least that is the inference I get from their post.

What has any of that have to do with the scientific method?

It is only a reclassification, and Pluto is still a lump of rock which orbits the Sun.

Now if there had been a discovery that the Sun after all orbits the Earth, that would have occasioned a little debate.

No, I wait for repeated just plain stupid remarks before making that decision.

 

[lesliedellow]

No, I wait for repeated just plain stupid remarks before making that decision.

Have you made it yet?

 

[AirPo]

Have you made it yet?

Still connecting the dots,

 

[tevans9129]

No, I wait for repeated just plain stupid remarks before making that decision.

Interesting, we both are waiting, you for "stupid remarks" and me for someone with the guts to engage in a serious Q & A type of discussion of what can be reasonably proven to be true.

OK, can you give a plausible answer as to why I am perfectly willing to answer all questions that I may be asked with plausible, verifiable answers and if I do not understand the question, will ask for clarification or rephrasing and will then answer the question? No excuses, such as it is malformed, it is stupid, it is not relevant, etc. but clear, straightforward answers. OTOH, I have not found one person that will reciprocate in like manner. What kind of excuse do you have for that?

The plausible answer is

I am perfectly willing to answer all questions that I may be asked with plausible, verifiable answers

has been shown to not be true.

It gets worse than that though.

I've seen some take the attitude that creationists are hypocrites if they go to the doctor.

Then you mention that your doctor is a YEC and has a successful practice, and their attitude is:

"Oh, he's an exception."

 

[AV1611VET]

What has any of that have to do with the scientific method?

Beats me.

It was done by a rigged vote.

 

[AirPo]

Beats me.

It was done by a rigged vote.

And you believe that because ...?

 

[AV1611VET]

It is only a reclassification,

So?

A contested reclassification.

And if it was "only a reclassification," why did they have to rig a vote behind closed doors?

 

[AV1611VET]

And you believe that because ...?
