****Eugenie Scott, executive director of the National Center for Science Education described Berlinski’s arguments in The Deniable Darwin as:[11]****

I could really care less what Eugenie Scott says. She’s going to trash anyone who disagrees with the orthodoxy.

****As for “casting doubts and asking questions,” I’d say that’s what scientists are supposed to do — it’s the beginning of the scientific method.****

Ah yes....the scientific method. I believe I just posted something to you about that.....observable, testable, repeatable, falsifiable. How is it again that the “pond-scum to people” theory can be observed...or tested...or repeated...or falsified.

Let me know when you figure it out will ya please?

My opinion is that Eugenie Scott speaks in the voice of science itself. So, when you trash her words, imho, you trash all of science.

Did you ever wonder why anti-scientists have a hard time getting published in scientific journals?

I don't know of any scientific theory called "pond-scum to people." Can you cite the publication and author where this hypothesis is laid out & then confirmed scientifically?

I do know, Darwin speculated that life may have started in some "warm little pond" eons ago, but I don't know what scientific hypotheses have ever been proposed in this regard, much less which ones are confirmed as theories.

Possibly you can tell us that? ;-)
