Wherein I catch a professional YEC in a lie

And whereas, in the worst case, secular science cuts corners to get published quickly or distorts data to please their corporate check-writers, creation 'scientists' gleefully sign onto requirements that they will never do anything to counter their YEC beliefs.

Great! Go find all the peer-reviewed scientific research showing where evolution and anthropomorphic climate change is disproven, and present it. I'll wait.
Problem is, peer reviews are simply refused. It is a form of blacklisting.

There is no such thing as YEC science. All professional YEC's do is badly interpret data to lie the the flock.

When they do, on rare occasion, engage in actual research, we get the sorts of things we get from Tomkins - purposeful distortions, or bible-based constraints on analytical outcomes (as was done in baraminology (YEC systematics), or plain old incompetence, like Walter ReMine's dead-horse beating of Haldane's model.

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.
What do you mean by pre-conceived notions?

And why do creationists lie like Mitchell did?

You seem to be saying that secular science (talking specifically about evolution-related research here) and creation science are but 2 sides of the same coin, so I presume you can present several example of evolution scientists taking creation science claims and clearly distorting/lying about them?

I would first point out that other than perhaps the occasional article in RNCSE, evolution research is NOT based on taking creationist publications and nitpicking them, which the overwhelming bulk of creation/ID science output is.

Indeed.

Well there you go, guess you're qualified to tell why evolution is a religion, then.

So, I am seeing some comments that do not seem to be directed to anyone in particular, but I do have a certain IT guy on ignore, so putting 2 and 2 together...

Some peer-reviewed articles in secular science journals have been exposed as frauds. That doesn't make all secular science fraudulent. The same holds true for YEC research. YECs and evolutionists are operating on different assumptions.

Evolutionists don't engage with YEC research. It's dismissed out of hand. Yes, YEC and ID communities draw from secular sources. Their communities aren't large enough to only cite each other. The huge funding and institutional resources that evolutionists have aren't there for them. YEC and ID research is more scientific apologetics, based on private donations.

No, they're not. YEC's have no relevant education or training... none.
And the one or two who do, distort their findings to mislead.

Have you not watched any of the videos I've posted. You should be embarrassed by their ilk.

Or talk out of both sides of their mouths by publishing legitimate science papers which support the "secular" findings and then publishing in an AIG "journal" and directly contradicting their legit work. See Andrew Snelling.

That is incorrect. Actual research is generally exposed as erroneous, to say the least:

Dropbox - Tomkins-BLAST.pdf

The above is the opposite of being dismissed out of hand. And this happens quite a bit, though you will generally not see it in journals as that would not be considered as research itself. But it is more than being dismissed out of hand.

Or they write about things that they have no relevant background in. Henry Morris (hydraulic engineer) writing about genetics, Walt Brown (mechanical engineer) writing about biology, Jon Sarfati (physical chemist) writing about fossils and genetics, Jeff Tomkins (genetics) writing about fossils, etc.

Science isn't objective. That's true of YEC science...


There is no "YEC science" nor is there "evolution science". There is only science and YEC ain't it.

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.

Fascinating claim because we have a few scientists on here and I know quite a few on Facebook who are engaged in the Crevo debate.

Yes, evolutionists don't recognize YEC research as science. This assertion isn't an argument against YEC being scientific.

YECism requires arbitrary miracles to explain away obvious physical limitations of what they propose. On those grounds alone it isn't scientific.

And twisting my words is not a refutation.

Do you have any examples of YEC research?

Maybe I should have said, "the good/smart ones", because they are smart enough to understand the futility of arguing with lay people about such a thing - regardless of what the lay people believe.
