So all of the research "Scientist" who develop new medicines, and microelectronics aren't real scientist; their really just technologist? The MRI was just a machine that used the technology of electro magnetics. The scientist who are currently working on the RAM Jet engine are just using technology which hasn't existed until they invented it but they're not real scientist, they're just technologist.

I guess your only a real scientist if you deal with theories that take billions and billions of years to prove. You see something in nature or the Cosmo's that regular people can't explain, so you develop a theory that explains it. Over the years you refine that theory because of the bugs found in the first one and it can change form year to year until you get the majority of your fellow "thinkers" to agree with your theory and low and behold ..... your a Real Scientist!!

All these year I thought that working with new discoveries and inventing things that we never used or existed before were the results of the applied sciences by scientist who were making lives better, people live longer and with greater comfort. Who knew that they were just technologist.

. . . lo and behold ..... your a Real Scientist!!

Science has determined that all it takes to become a real scientist is to substitute the word "nature" for "God." Science has also determined this is the only legal way to speak of science in public schools.

One evolutionist Bozo tried to tell me a physician is not qualified as a biological scientist. Horse hockey... Any physician or veterinarian is just as qualified to comment on biology, probably even more so.

There's no "just" about being a technologist. There isn't a pecking order of this stuff. But yes, most invention and applied science and making lives better and people live longer and in greater comfort is done by engineers or inventors. Not scientists. Engineers and inventors apply the theories that scientists have discovered (or sometimes just use their gut knowledge in clever and unexpected ways). Sometimes scientific theories turn out to be wrong in subtle ways, and the scientists refine them, which can lead to new applications from the technologists and engineers. Me, I'm an engineer, which is of course a much higher calling than being a scientist.

Right. We don't stop at saying the earth is flat because God made it flat, we take our observations and improve our bases.
