You should know that these people they might have a geology degree. However, currently they are simply geology "workers". Not much different from those muscle guys who drill the well in the field (all of them can claim that they are some kind of geologists, which, in fact, is not wrong). They stop learning geology right at the time when they graduated from school. The worse thing is: they did not learn how to learn geology when there were in school.
Creation science advanced super fast. Their geological knowledge is already a past tense.
Yet again you show your vast ignorance of the whole subject of geology and the industry it underpins.
How you can imagine that a person who sits infront a huge computer all day analysing seismic data in real time has anything in common with a guy who installs drilling pipe is beyond me. My guess is you just feel humiliated by your thrashing on this thread and just felt like a sly dig at your tormentors.
I am entirely different from some guy humping pipe on a drilling platform, I work in a technical emvironment and I am expected to keep abreast of advancements within the science and industry.
Sometimes my company sends me on courses to learn about new geophysical techniques, sometimes I am just sent papers to read, sometimes it is confidential material that my company is working on that is cutting edge geophysics that they hope will gain them a competative advantage. I also have to stay on top of new software and hardware computing issues as I work in a remote location where there is noone else to fix my equipemnt when things go wrong. I am responsible for a computing system of high power and massive size, we are talking about terrabytes of disk here.
That you are ignorant of the industry, how it works does not suprise me in the slightest. You appear to judge everybody by your own sorry standards.
Ontop of the information that I have to keep abreast of for work, I also read around areas of interest I have within geology, specifically the evolutionary palaeontology of the "Cambrian Explosion " ( which was neither
)
You ignorance has been contrasted with out knowledge many times on this very thread, the fact that you have the hubris to claim some sort of advantage over degreed geologists working in the sciences fills me with a sort of awe.
Some people stop learning the day after they leave school, for others it is a life long journey. My father is in his 70s and yet he is still publishing geological papers about chaos theory and stratigraphy, specifically the circular nature of the arguments for much of sequence stratigraphy.
I will leave it to others to guess which of us is hidebound and dogmatic and which of us is still learning about the world
This might also be a good time for you to reveal your qualifications and experience to be involved in this dicussion, as you seem to be so keen to denigrate them in others.
I would be suprised if you made it out of college, but if you did I am guessing lawyer or engineer. You often get them on here trying to pass themselves off as having an understanding of science.
