Yeah, but you can do that without giving him an A. A C- or D+ would do

fine, most places.

 

Me, I would just flunk him. Next time, the same. And I would make sure

my colleagues were aware of the situation.

I have told you about the two books that discuss the fossil and bone

evidence that supports creation science. There is no way that I can

include all of the information in those two book in a post. Upon request,

I'll post the titles of the books and the names of the article.

I did learn to think but I did not discuss my opinions with professors.

Now you understand why advisers tell students to not have arguments with

teachers or professors. I kept my opinions to myself when I was a student.

The only exception was when I had an argument with a professor in his

office. That professor was in charge of a evolution vs. creation seminar.

Grades were not involved related to the seminar. That same professor later

had a debate with Dr. Gish. I enjoyed watching Dr. Gish win that debate.

That professor became so upset that he made a fool of himself in front of

over 200 people. He was shouting like a little kid.

I done a google search for "historical revisionism". I found that

Yeah, keep the folks in line. Don't let anyone think that the bible is not

inerrant in every word it contains. What a bunch of pure BS!

Jason just can't do it. It is a mental impossibility for him to

admit that evolution is a fact. It is something that is so far

beyond his comprehension that he can't even admit that he is wrong.

Your biggest problem is accepting the word of every creationist site you

visit as true. When I read a science article I always check it for

reasonableness. Years ago I paid good money for a book that turned out to be

a collection of some idiots musings. Didn't make that mistake again.

Jason, millions and millions of Christians go to college and obtain degrees.

Most of the students in colleges are Christians! How can you justify making

such a stupid statement. Don't answer it Jason, it was only a rhetorical

No need to include all the information from any book. Just

select an example or two of some specific evidence that you

PMFBI, but

 

Neither of them was a crackpot. Scheiner was a pretty unpleasant fellow,

if you ask me; others say Galileo was one (but they're wrong). (Don't take

my opinions too seriously here; I'm sure you won't.)

 

At the start of their conflict was a dispute about priority in observing

sunspots, in which Galileo probably had the better case -- but as we now

know, neither of them was first . It turned into a life-long feud, in

which Scheiner may (some people believe so) have worked to turn the Church

against Galileo -- in which case he'd be a whole lot worse than a mere

crackpot.

 

But a priority fight and going almost mad with rage at the adversary (as

Scheiner did when he heard someone praise Galileo's Dialogue) doesn't

necessarily make you a crackpot. Defending geocentrism was incorrect, and

was a weak position already by 1633; but it wasn't crackpot. Defending

geocentrism now: crackpot.

 

It's a matter of evidence, and how strong it is, and how well tested by

time and criticism. Calling an opponent of evolution a crackpot today is

an assertion that the time for that stuff is long past, given what has

been learned in 148 years. A correct assertion, too. (It could also be

ignorance of the evidence, of course, but anyone who claims expert

knowledge of the evidence can't use that excuse.)
