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.

Say what? Perhaps you should write more clearly because what this sentence tells me is that you take offense at strong opinions on anything that differs from yours.

This is a website dedicated to opinions. If you want pure science there are plenty of sites dedicated to that aim. You choose to post here and then take umbrage at "strong opinions"?

Very funny Coyoteman.

This is what I posted:

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.

I think it is clear that I do not respect unsupported, and uneducated, opinions.

I do not "take offense at strong opinions on anything that differs from yours" but if the opinions are not backed up with some facts or well-supported theories, I do not respect them either.

I have spent a lot of time studying, and I see no reason to accept everything posted to these threads as being of equal value. I reserve the right to use my understanding of science, and of a few of the fields within science, to tell the difference between accurate and inaccurate posts.

And, I am willing to be corrected by superior knowledge.
