We'll put up a thousand bucks each, and we'll compare notes...the winner choses the charity that gets the dough.
Let's see...mine has state and national awards and recognition, served in the Reagan administration (actually I think it might have been Nixon, come to think of it) and retired a wealthy man on his strength as a scientist. And you?
ANYTIME, BIG SHOT. Just write the check.
The reason I suggest charity is that I don't need the money...I retired at 35 on my strength as an innovator and entrepreneur. But that's another story. Yep, guess we're just a couple of idiots. And we're in good company.
And you?
What time do you get out of high school?
What a compliment. Thank you. Unfortunately those days are long ago.
Recognising your bullying problem was a real stride forward and I was proud of you. But you need to work harder at dealing with it, or the recognition is wasted. If you look closely at your post you might notice a bit of back-sliding on the bullying front.
I've never claimed to be a genius, in fact I'll stoutly reject the suggestion.
I don't know why you are still trying to argue on authority, and now trying to propose a credentials pissing competition, when I've already pointed out that (a) I'm an engineer, not a scientist. Any science PhD can out-credential me. (b) I'm not interested in argument from authority.
I'll debate your uncle anytime on the scientific method as it applies to ID, but not through you as a proxy. If you want him to take part in this debate then either point to his published work that refutes my position or get him to post here so that in either case I can debate his words directly. I'm fascinated to know by what means he thinks ID qualifies as a scientific theory, when it makes no predictions, and its supporters point at no real-world observations that could be made that would falsify it.
Unless I've missed something, it's interesting to note that ModernDayCato never actually *says* that his Uncle thinks ID is a scientific theory... He just tries to imply it.
That seems like the proper position to take. In these threads, anyone's views can be debated, provided he's got what it takes to come forward and present those views. If some alleged expert wants to send in his nephew to speak for him, on his behalf, and the nephew is basing his second-hand arguments on the alleged authority of his uncle's alleged expertise, the whole thing isn't worth dealing with.
Oh, did I mention that I have an uncle who could fly better than Charles Lindbergh, shoot better than Sergeant York, boff better than James Bond, speak better than Reagan, and had a biology theory way better than Darwin's? Oh yeah.
Don't you automatically lose when you cry uncle?
