I pointed out the nurses obfuscation about their supposed qualifications, and their obvious lack of knowledge of the subject due to numerous errors; this was not an attack on the person just their reasons for dissembling about their qualifications and their obvious lack of knowledge of the subject.

Postmodernism supposes that there is no objective reality and that all viewpoints are therefore equally valid.

Science supposes that there is an objective reality and that Scientific theories can help explain and predict this reality.

“May be a little difficult for you”? Oh and I suppose that isn't a personal attack. It is laughable one considering the lack of intellectual heft your posts display, but it certainly is one. It betrays the weakness of your position which is ludicrous on its face due to your poor understanding of both Science and Postmodernism.

No it isn't. You seem to be a little thin-skinned. Most people, even most scientists in other fields, are not familiar with transposons, or what point mutation, re-assortment, or recombination are or what their significance to evolution would be, for example.

I've observed that neither you are any of the other critics of this article have attempted to answer any of the technical genetic questions raised. I suspect it's because you do not understand them. Are you familiar with Barbara McClintock? "During the 1940s and 1950s, McClintock discovered transposition and used it to show how genes are responsible for turning physical characteristics on or off. She developed theories to explain the repression or expression of genetic information from one generation of maize plants to the next. Encountering skepticism of her research and its implications, she stopped publishing her data in 1953." Actually, the criticism came from "scientists" whose views her reseach threatened, and most did not understand the very technical nature of her research. She suffered terribly from this rejection. I think something, in a minor way, is going on here too. About Barbara: "Awards and recognition of her contributions to the field followed, including the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine awarded to her in 1983 for the discovery of genetic transposition; she is the first and, thus far, only woman to receive an unshared Nobel Prize in that category." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbara_McClintock Have a nice day!
