I shouldn’t be surprised – an ad hominem attack.

If you don’t like something someone says then attack their education and credentials.
Why is it so hard for some people to believe that there are people with strong scientific backgrounds that simply do not buy the Theory of Evolution?


"Inferences from circumstantial evidence are both necessary and credible in scientific research and inquiry"
That’s my point – its all speculation!

You have to have as much or more “faith” to believe that the Theory of evolution is fact than I do that God created it all.

Um, you're the one who put "education and credentials" front and center. And you obviously did that in order to "argue from authority." It is hardly ad hominem to address precisely what you intentionally advertised.

That’s my point – its all speculation!

Yikes. Now would be a good time to quit.

Are you going to only respond to "personal attacks" or are you going to debate the relevant points other posters made to you?
