But, it is what it is regardless, still science.

No it isn’t science any more. Things have changed. The use of statistics instead of common sense, the have to find something new instead of adding one more small bit of truth, the lack of accountability in research, the politics, the “social sciences”, the funding sources, the focusing on details instead of systems, the involvement of government, etc.

And mostly the lack of thinking skills and lack of understanding of the scientific method. I have presented challenging information to a professor in electrical engineering and his response to me was, “Why would anyone risk their career on something that isn’t true.” That is their touchstone for the truth.

In short, the willingness to believe anything without questioning.

Oh, we GOTS TO know! What was this “challenging information?”

PeterPrinciple: "No it isn’t science any more.
Things have changed."

In fact, evolution-theory has been a key part of natural-sciences for over 150 years -- so nothing there has changed, except of course that we now know orders of magnitude more about it than, for example, Charles Darwin did.

I take it that you assaulted your poor engineering professor with some carefully packaged anti-evolution arguments -- and you're surprised to see he didn't take your bait?
FRiend, if you want to test out your anti-evo arguments, come here -- that's what Free Republic is for, a public service, no extra charge (but please contribute monthly).
Don't expect your hapless professors to deal with such challenges.

We, of course, are not intimidated by your nonsense, and are happy to set you straight.
