I have been going back and forth with a microbiologist who holds a PhD and runs his own lab. He has many papers to his name and thinks that the young earth creationist are either dishonest or ignorant. He has yet to admit any of the "proof" in his field is "false". What is your education in? Also would you mind linking a few papers you have written? I would just like to get a sense of who you are and what you have a background in.
I also think that young earth creationists are seriously mistaken. I think their scientific arguments are extremely weak, and their scriptural arguments are simply incorrect. I have argued the scriptural evidence for old earth creationism in this forum on several occasions.
But be that as it may, I have a degree in Science and Mathematics. I know this sounds strange. I do not know even one other person who holds such a degree. But it was offered by the university I attended. (University of Kentucky, Murray branch) It involved advanced courses in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics, with some courses Geology and Psychology.
I took this path because my real ambition was to be an Engineer, but that was not available at the University in my home town of Murray, Kentucky. I had no other university available because my father had four sons being educated at the same time, so we had to study in a location where we could live at home. We all went to Murray, and two of my brothers went on to medical school.
I studied on my own to learn enough to pass the required examinations to become a Registered Professional Engineer in the state of Ohio. Since I did not have an engineering degree I had to have six years of practical experience before I was allowed to take the tests. I worked as an engineer for many years. My particular field required me to do extensive research into many fields, as I was responsible for inventing solutions to unique problems brought to us by varied customers. Some of the more demanding assignments included designing machinery to operate inside a heat treating furnace, (it had to be able to operate continuously for years at a cherry red heat) to design machinery to operate inside a cryogenic refrigerator, (so cold that air turns into a liquid) to design machinery to operate in caustic baths, to design machinery to operate in salt solutions, and to design machinery to operate in acid baths. One machine I designed and built had elliptical gears, flexible gears, and an electric motor that contained no wires. I had to design electronic equipment that would operate reliably in harsh electrical environments involving repeated intense electrical surges and spikes. Before I retired I had so many patents in my name that I do not remember how many there were. I developed the world's first directly solvable equation that accurately describes the flow or fluids ranging from syrup creeping through a 1/4" cast iron pipe to water flowing at a hundred miles an hour through a ten foot pipe, and the world's first equation that accurately maps the performance curve of a centrifugal pump.
You will argue correctly that none of these involved evolutionary science, but all of this required intensive research into and practical application of information from a wide variety of scientific fields. It required the accurate application of scientific data and logic. If it was not done correctly, the equipment simply would not work.
I wrote two papers on evolution during my university studies. The first of these was a review of the statements of recognized experts challenging the accuracy the each of the various supposed "proofs" of evolution. This is what I referred to earlier in this discussion. Every alleged proof of evolution being offered at that time ( the 1960's) had been denounced as factually inaccurate by experts in that particular field. The second was a demonstration that there was no greater than a 50% percent chance that the ratio of mutations which was beneficial was any greater that one in ten thousand. The professor for whom I wrote the first paper read excerpts from it in all his classes. And the professor for whom I wrote the second called it "one of the best, if not the best" paper he had received in his entire teaching experience.
I do not say these things to brag, but to answer your question about who and what I am.
