Just for the record, I believe both 'sides' are equally obsessive at this point and are all wasting bandwidth on FR.I sure do not consider the science threads (and yes the evolution threads ARE science) a waste of bandwidth. There are some exceptional scientists who post there and I have truly learned an amazing amount from them.
Think of it this way: An FR university where a professor is at your fingertips to answer any question you have free of charge. WOW. This is most certainly NOT a waste of bandwidth.

Great observation!

Amen, brother! That's the reason I participate in the science threads. Of course, any attempt at learning new stuff is often short-circuited by the anti-sicence types.

Thank you so much for your post!

You are of course among the exceptional scientists on this forum. I have learned so much from all of you. You've been patient, explained things that are probably painfully obvious to you and have given me leads to do my own research now and again. Thank you and thanks to all the Free Republic scientists!!!

The science threads are also frequently graced by the presence of a certain poster who is a master of many subjects including biology, chemistry, physics, and statistics, has overturned 150 years of scientific theory, and is surely awaiting the Nobel prize in several disciplines.
Just think we can claim we were in the presence of greatness someday!
