I wasn’t trying to be mean. I really was wondering if it was serious. I should not have even brought this up. It will take at least an entire day to refute this article because I will also have to write down the actual theories that the author completely ignores.
Another alternative is that I can gather references to the primary literature that refutes his points so you can see it for yourself. That will take less time but I’ll have to report back in a week when I have time to go back to the library. I have to finish my finals first.
Does that sound good?
Colleges today tend to breed fanatics rather than skeptics, and this is symptomatic of that behavior. You will have reached an real educational threshhold when you are _not_ so convinced that the educational orthodoxy already has all the answers.
So go ahead - see if your confidence that the evolutionary establishment already has answers to this article are well placed. I have quite a few friends who once had just such a point of view (cf. many of the accounts in the recent creationist book Persuaded by the Evidence), until they started trying to prove out their classroom-inculcated beliefs.
Merry Christmas
