Gee, it sounds like this von Sternberg might just be one of those rare scientists with no agenda but a thirst for knowledge, a tragic flaw for him it would appear.

No. Sternberg is a member of the 'Baraminology Study Group' , a group of Young-Earth Creationists whose goal is to discover the 'original kinds' of the Bible. His statements that he is a disinterested scientist are just the usual creationist misdirection.

What is curious is that he published an ID paper by Meyer, when he himself doesn't beleive the Cambrian period existed, or at least existed when Meyer says it did. So not only did he violate journal policy, he violated his own personal beliefs, all in order to get a blow in at the common enemy, the theory of Evolution.

Did you read the statement in Post #55 where it says von Sternberg is a member even though he does NOT believe in Creationism?

Obviously you are not alone in trying to distort von Sternberg's positions otherwise Barminology would not have needed to place this on their web site.

So von Sternberg is on record publicly as not believing in Creationism but you and others insist you know his beliefs better?

"What is curious is that he published an ID paper by Meyer, when he himself doesn't beleive the Cambrian period existed, or at least existed when Meyer says it did.

It's all just one big conspiracy.

The Evolution side of this debate is not looking very rational here. Or ethical.
