Uses of Creationist Science

[AV1611VET]

Are you familiar with the term "fossil fuels" and why they are called such?

I wasn't aware YECs use different methods of finding oil.

Were you?

 

[AV1611VET]

I'm guessing a discussion about the ability to find oil would be central to the interview process.

There would be no interview.

Someone (I can't remember who) said he trashes the application pronto.

 

[AV1611VET]

No they aren't. They are being refused employment because their resume does not support the ability to find oil.

I think you guys are making this stuff up as we go along.

Do you want his resume finding the oil, or the person submitting the resume to find it?

If I was the applicant, I would tell my interviewer:*

You hire me first, then I'll find the oil.

* Assuming he didn't trash it on principle ... and against the law.

 

[FredHoyle]

Especially if the religion guarantees he won't get employed.

Why would his religion even be discussed? they are looking for oil not a god.

The dude that said that, was trolling AV.

Now, I have read thousands of resumes in my day and have yet to see one where someone puts their religious beliefs on it.

 

[AV1611VET]

If there is nothing on their resume that demonstrates the applicant knows how to find oil,

Would a diploma suffice?

What if the applicant was an OEC, fresh out of college?

He can't demonstrate it either?

I don't see why beliefs should be an issue in a secular occupation.

Have you been following the conversation?

How would a resume find oil?

or the person submitting the resume to find it?

As a recruiter I want to see demonstrated ability to find oil on the person's resume. If it isn't there (for whatever reason) then I am not going to waste my time bringing him/her in for an interview.

If I was the applicant, I would tell my interviewer:*

You hire me first, then I'll find the oil.

And my first question following your statement would be "tell me how". If you can't do that, for what ever reason, you aren't going to be hired and that is perfectly legal.

*

Assuming he didn't trash it on principle ... and against the law.

Which law would that be? Be specific, I've got a copy of the Desktop Encyclopedia of Employment Law sitting on my desk to verify your claim.

 

[AV1611VET]

Go figure.

Then this whole conversation was just an exercise in futility?

And here I was worried that someone out there would one day be facing a federal lawsuit.

 

[AV1611VET]

Okay.

I don't see any reason to continue this discussion.

Nevermind.

This evidently is a Poe thread.

 

[Queller]

Would a diploma suffice?

Sure, if it was from an accredited university that teaches the science of geology.

What if the applicant was an OEC, fresh out of college?.

He can't demonstrate it either?

Then I'm not going to be hiring him to find oil. I might hire him as an apprentice to someone who already knows how to find oil. This would give him a chance to develop his skills.

 

[bhsmte]

Nevermind.

This evidently is a Poe thread.

It is and I was sucked in for a while myself.

 

[PsychoSarah]

Okay.

I don't see any reason to continue this discussion.

Neither do I, I don't see how it isn't wrong if the YEC scientist was denied a job solely on the basis of religion. The only questionable factor is whether or not religion really was the reason why they were refused a job, or if they are having a baby fit for not being hired.
