The fact that American Spectator could be so pig ignorantly wrong on a noncontroversial scientific topic does not speak well of their overall reliability.

JS1138. I will throw out the same challenge to you that I have to other arrogant evos. Please provide your educational background and current employment so we can judge whether you have any credibility on the subject or are just blowing smoke. Thanks ahead of time.

OK, I'll play the game: MA & Ph.D., Anthropology, splitting archaeology and physical anthropology subdisciplines. In physical--lots of courses in evolution, osteology, and human races leading to two of four fields for Ph.D. exams being human osteology and fossil man.

Employed as an archaeologist, lots of years (we won't go into how many but an honorary member of the SGA--Society of Geriatric Archaeologists).

And now you, any training in "evo" or anything close, like science, for example?

It may be that a poster can gain or lose "creds" by his resume -- but better his postings tell the tale of credence given him. Buckhead was not a typographic examiner -- just a lawyer familiar with typography from some casework he did. The expertise in typography he showed the nation in the Rathergate fiasco was NOT on his resume.

I don't have any credentials in physics and don't need any to understand when a bogus Second Law argument is being made. Evolution no more breaks thermodynamics than the processes of life break thermodynamics. Evolution is just a life process operating on a longer time scale than respiration and metabolism.
