Yep. And you thought I was coming from a position of ignorance. I'll be you're really embarrassd now! Ha! that'll teach you.Well there you go, guess you're qualified to tell why evolution is a religion, then.
I'll just bet I have.You've certainly taught me a lot, to be sure.
I worship who I believe deserves it. Opinions vary, however.It's ok, you needn't worship anything.
No mortal man, I agree.No one is deserving of worship.
Yes! As MLK Jr. said, Free at last!Then you're free.
Wow they have labs! What, do they have a sterile room where they read the Bible in white coats and latex gloves?Creationists who have a mandate before entering the lab are a very different story.
That guy in that video makes a big deal about "no answer."Ex-con Hovind's face at 5:16 says it all.
Research for YEC groups would be based on private donations from those sympathetic to these groups. Some evolutionary science is publicly funded. Other funding comes from foundations or groups sympathetic to secular points of view. Availability of grant money, while not the sole determining factor, influences academic research interests.
YEC science and evolutionary science are biased. They should be. Scientists in either group are quite up front about this.
Great! So we know YEC 'science' wears it's pre-conceived notions like a badge of honor, but what's the secular pre-conceived notions of science? What's the Nobel Award for Science given out for? What research does (did?) the government fund and how was/is it biased? How about University funded research, how does university funded research go with their pre-conceived secular notions? It would seem that these secular notions, if anything, go against their government at least... it seems those YEC politicians don't like the results they're paying for on climate change and yoink their funding. Almost as if those secular scientists followed the evidence no matter where it leads? I'd be interested in your point of view on what these secular researchers are pre-conceiving... what benefit is there in research resulting in a finding that isn't accurate with respect to the evidence? Curious....And secular scientists interpret the data based on secular pre-conceived notions shared by their followers. There's no dishonesty. Both sides are quite open about it.There is no such thing as YEC science. All professional YEC's do is badly interpret data to lie the the flock.
Nonsense. Big Bang went against status-quo, Evolution went against status-quo, Heliocentrism went against status-quo, 75 million year old Dinosaur collagen went against status-quo - every one of these were pardagim shifts that completely up-ended what we thought we knew, but in the end, the Evidence couldn't be ignored and the consensus shifted in line with the evidence.Not going along with status quo could be a career risk for a YEC or evolutionary scientist, if that entails challenging underlining belief assumptions about creation or evolution held in either group.
Great! Go find all the peer-reviewed scientific research showing where evolution and anthropomorphic climate change is disproven, and present it. I'll wait.No. The scientiic method is not like religion, but many scientists involved in junk science (e.g. evolution fundamentalists and global warming evangelists) defend it like a religion.
The scientists doing the actual work are, well, busy doing the actual work, not arguing about it on non-scientific forums.
It's just funny seeing a guy arc & spark about not getting an answer.You're a legend in your own mind, av.
I thought it was funny seeing a guy squirm when he couldn’t weasel his way out of his blatant lies. Nope, couldn’t hide behind a monitor when up on the stage.It's just funny seeing a guy arc & spark about not getting an answer.
He'd last what? a week here? or less?
Science isn't objective. That's true of YEC science and evolutionary science. As has been noted, "Every instance of scientific inquiry, every study, rests on a vast submerged set of political, moral, and ultimately metaphysical assumptions."
Furthermore, scientific "programs grow out of an extended dialogue within a community of scientists, or due to funding pressures, and either way are the product of the norms, values, and interests of broader society. Thus these norms and values shape not only what qualifies as evidence, but what evidence is even available to be considered in need of explanation." So, YEC science is a product of its community as is secular evolutionary science.
