I think one of the things most objected to by the evos, is that quite a few of the cres make very little effort to gain a proper understanding of scientific terms and concepts relevant to understanding what evolution *does* claim.

That is NOT true.

Most creationists/IDers have a far better grasp of the ToE than evos care to admit,and from what I've seen of posters on both sides of the debate, is that there appears to be more in the non-evo camp with advanced degrees in science than there are evos. Many of the evos, by their own admission, have neither degrees nor job experience in a science related field. How that makes them qualified to pass judgment on non-evos for their comprehension of science is beyond me, but they do it anyway.

The evos biggest stumbling block is their total inability to comprehend that someone could consider the ToE and choose to not believe it.

They are so convinced of the truth of it, that they feel that if someone REALLY understood it, they'd be compelled to believe it. Hence, the accusations of ignorance and willful blindness.

Not the case.

Evos move the goalposts on scientific terms all the time. Even if you do a google search on terms like *species* you'll find that there is a lot of disagreement about what the classification really is.

“there appears to be more in the non-evo camp with advanced degrees in science than there are evos. “

Yet there is a stunning absence of actual science in the “creation science” camp.

Why do you think that is?

I don’t think you can support your claim that “non-evos” have more advanced degrees than “evos”.

I'll choose a couple of Ichneumon's posts at semi-random, since I originally was respoding in part to him.

Try here.

Or here.

There are others, by other posters, if you look.

Cheers!
