Afraid of criticism?

ummm... no. try again. science is self correcting and eternally critical. that's what peer review and the scientific method is predicated upon. mistakes are made over the millenia, then they are corrected with better science. show me where religion does that, and i'll have my shoes for dessert.

I weary of evolutionist platitudes. Your statement is plain and simply false. If it were true, the article that started this thread would not have been posted. As it is, evolutionists are intolerant of criticism directed toward them or their precious fairy story.

BTW, self-correcting implies error. If evo were truly self-correcting, it would adjust the theory rather than blackball the critic.

that's what peer review and the scientific method is predicated upon. mistakes are made over the millenia, then they are corrected with better science.

Another stale platitude. The peer review process is as clean and pure and the Justice Department's investigation of itself under Janet Reno. "Peer" has been restricted to those friendly to the evolutionist propaganda. That makes it just a bit too circular for it to be taken seriously. Any more lukewarm platitudes?

I hope you aren't wearing your hip boots. I can't speak for religion but I can speak for Christianity. First you need to understand that the truth does not need to be corrected. Only falsehoods need to be corrected. Christianity, therefore, could not be self-correcting. It is noted that sometimes interpretations can be incorrect. Not only was the Reformation evidence of man's willingness to clean his own house but the Catholic counter-reformation also testifies to that fact.

You can eat one boot now and save the other for lunch tomorrow.
