No, Joey. I am anti-Junk Science, such as the junk science of evolutionism.

No, Joey. I trust science as presented by scientists when it is verifiable. I distrust junk science, such as evolutionism, because there is no evidence to support it.

Joey is always making up stories, like a good little evolutionist. That seems to be all the evolutionist knows how to do is make up just-so stories. There is certainly no evidence that supports it.

I, personally, have been a Christian for most of my life; but I was an evolutionist and an old-earther until this decade when I saw contrary evidence for the first time. When I realized the evidence pointed to a global flood, I didn’t discard it like a religious fanatic would. I followed the evidence wherever it led me. That is what scientists are (supposedly) trained to do.

Again, I am a counter-puncher.

Yeah, sure, Joey . . .

I was blessed to be able to attend five great universities, Joey.

Joey will not provide an example of me “making a scientist like Stephen Gould sound anti-science,” because he cannot.

Mr. Kalamata

Kalamata: "No, Joey. I am anti-Junk Science, such as the junk science of evolutionism."

Naw, you're anti-science period.
You oppose any branch or ideas of science which conflict with your own theories of "Biblical science".

Kalamata: "No, Joey.
I trust science as presented by scientists when it is verifiable.
I distrust junk science, such as evolutionism, because there is no evidence to support it."

Nonsense, you deny all science, not just evolution theory, which conflicts with your own ideas of "Biblical science".

Kalamata: "Joey is always making up stories, like a good little evolutionist.
That seems to be all the evolutionist knows how to do is make up just-so stories.
There is certainly no evidence that supports it."

Like any propagandist, rather than confess the truth, Kalamata switches over to personal attacks.

Kalamata: "I, personally, have been a Christian for most of my life; but I was an evolutionist and an old-earther until this decade when I saw contrary evidence for the first time.
When I realized the evidence pointed to a global flood, I didn’t discard it like a religious fanatic would.
I followed the evidence wherever it led me.
That is what scientists are (supposedly) trained to do."

Naw, you deliberately followed fake evidence which lead you to a predetermined conclusion, "Biblical science".

Kalamata: "Again, I am a counter-puncher."

Naw, you don't wait to "counter-punch", you're in there with personal attacks & smears whenever things get even a little... dicey for you.

Kalamata: "I was blessed to be able to attend five great universities, Joey."

I am impressed with your research skills, but not your honesty or reasoning ability.

Kalamata: "Joey will not provide an example of me “making a scientist like Stephen Gould sound anti-science,” because he cannot."

You've posted any number of quotes from Gould and used them to argue your own anti-science opinions.
