I cannot be held responsible for another man's lack of education. A person who does not understand (and in many cases never heard of) the key concepts required to engage in a meaningful discussion of basic technical subjects underlying the point at hand has no business throwing around random assertions about said point in a huff of righteous indignation. Hiding behind weak credentials is no substitute; one has to address the issues head on. This incorrectness should be easy to prove with rigor if they are so obviously flawed, but rigorous disproof has not been forthcoming.
On the upside, he probably has enough baseline knowledge and skills to learn what he has missed out on over the last fifteen plus years if he wants to. Ignorance is a curable condition, assuming one is not too stupid (an incurable condition) to recognize it.
I agree.
Lot's of folks appear not to know the difference between these two terms.
If (as you said in an earlier post) the developments in your field are in the last 10-15 years, they cannot be basic technical subjects underlying the point at hand (evolution), since the ToE has been around longer than that.
It is quite difficult to make up 15 years in a technical field (to the level of a practitioner) unless one is in that field, especially if you have any of the following:
a family;
a life;
an interest in Free Republic (not necessarily possible with either of the previous two...)
