On the internet, you are what you post. If you post some nonsense, all your posts will be suspect.
If you post solid data and well-reasoned theory, and do this consistently, your posts will generally be well-received. Similarly, if you post challenges with no support, your posts often will not be well received.
I have found freedumb2003's posts to be pretty accurate.
Oh, my credentials? Ph.D. in Anthropology, half in physical anthropology (evolution, human races, human osteology, etc.) and half in archaeology.
Not that this will make any difference on these threads, because the anti-evolution folks generally do not respect hard-earned knowledge. On these threads I have found that the anti-evolution folks frequently know little science, and what little they do know is often wrong. They disagree with some of the findings of science, and are out to discredit the entire scientific method as a result. In short, they generally don't trust science as a legitimate field of knowledge.
But that doesn't stop them from having strong opinions on everything from the big bang to biology, paleontology, geology, genetics, and the rest of the sciences.
And when I am wrong, I try to listen and learn.
Thanks for the support.
And what do you think you guys should do to blue collar guys like me who have the audacity to engage the truly gifted?
Hanging or the stocks?
I know your credentials; you've made no secret of them.
When it comes to evolution, that is putting it very mildly. Since it falls under the category of "a field of dreams".
"They disagree with some of the findings of science"
I respect the dedication you put into your education as I have even late in age......it's dedication and when one seeks knowledge they also gain responsibility. Some that don't want to gain knowledge maybe even know better as they don't want responsibility and therefore don't seek knowledge or personal improvement. Others are just full of family responsibility and just can't find the time actually...in any case; It boils down to what one really wants to believe and not filter what information is received. Einstein was so much against the existence of the idea of a God that he actually manipulated his theory to reflect a static universe. This is a documented fact. A Physicist following his theories discovered a flaw involving the K constant and reported this to Einstein who subsequently changed his theory back to an expanding and decelerating universe....long story short. Scientific theory is changing all the time...being discovered and rediscovered by four dimensional beings.....scientist who are influenced by what is known in their time to be true. Just because a scientist says this or that does not make it true in reality......they are only four dimensional beings.......and are prone to discovery, failure, re-experimental research...back to the drawing board...etc...and so the story goes.
