Working scientists do not have that kind of time--unless they're on PhD welfare...

And how would you know? Do all "working scientists" work for the same company, or is it possible different organizations have different requirements on their time?

BION, I know a few working scientists. None of them care much about the issue of evo, and none of their work depends on the "belief" in evo.

Really? And are any of them in the biological sciences? You'll probably answer yes, but without anything to back up your claims we're not going to believe you. BTW, I thought you hated scientists.

Science is accountable. Cosmology, archeology, paleontology, antrhopology...none are sciences. All can be interesting, but they create scenarios which at worst are merely replaced with newer and more interesting scenarios. Conjecture. Plausibility.

They're not sciences? Coyoteman will be upset to hear that. BTW, who appointed you arbiter of what is and is not science? I forgot, it doesn't matter that you have absolutely no understanding of what you speak as long as it sounds good to you.

An archeologist is never wrong the way a simple lab technician can be wrong.

Coyoteman, I'll let you field this one as it's your field of expertise.

If it can't be wrong, it's not science. If it's not reproducible, accountable, verifiable--then it's speculation. Maybe reasonable speculation--but plausible and reasonable is the A standard for speculation. A+ in conjecture, in the spinning of yarns.

All those fields you mentioned do have research that is reproduceable -- maybe not in the way you think, but their findings can be checked and cross-checked. That you cannot conceive of this just shows your woeful lack of learning on the subject.

Do yourself a favor and at least study some of this stuff before spouting off.

re: I thought you hated scientists)))

That's a childish remark, thrown out to set up a sandbox "No, I don't" "Yes, I do" exchange.

Mamzelle's on my virtual ignore list. I don't speak to people who are pathologically bitter.

Mamzelle's comments in blue, above, reflect a deep misunderstanding of what archaeologists do.

I don't have the time or inclination to bandy words with someone such as she right now--I am too busy "creating newer and more interesting scenarios." That's all we ever do, or so I'm told.
