Scientists have successfully ignored epistomology and most other isms for centuries. Too busy solving actual problems.
Do you wish to argue that biology is not making progress or acquiring knowledge? You certainly welcome to set up a competetive shop. There are hundreds of well funded religious colleges.
I know some of them are teaching creationism, but I don't see any massive research output.

Epistemology is the branch of philosophy that studies knowledge. It attempts to answer the basic question: what distinguishes true (adequate) knowledge from false (inadequate) knowledge? Practically, this questions translates into issues of scientific methodology: how can one develop theories or models that are better than competing theories? It also forms one of the pillars of the new sciences of cognition, which developed from the information processing approach to psychology, and from artificial intelligence, as an attempt to develop computer programs that mimic a human's capacity to use knowledge in an intelligent way.

If you KNOW scientists that ignore epistemology, you and they have some severe problems WRT to reality. It forms the foundations of how we can know, what we know.
Doh!

I really have to forward this to my friends, they will be ROTFLTAO for hours.
News flash, scientists ignore how they know truth or facts for centuries.
Engineers are more honest. But they have to do things.

By the way, I am not a creationist. LGM creationism is the part of ID I can relate to, and it requires some evidence. Too tough a concept for you?
I accept your apology for saying something incredibly stupid.
We've all done it at some point, and I really don't want a single absolutely and incredibly dumb thing said to come in between us in discussing this WRT to epistemology, and other forms of logic and debate.
I just want to offer the olive branch, before we get back to each others throats on this thread.
