“It is the same as asking the gentleman, ‘Do you believe the world is flat?' and he doesn't answer on religious grounds,” said Dr. Alters. “Or gravity, or plate tectonics, or that the Earth goes around the sun.”

Exactly. Said Minister should lose his job.

Exactly. Said Minister should lose his job.

Sorry, but no. Goodyear should be graded on the merit of his actual job performance.

Said Minister should lose his job.

So say the "thought police".

How does a Chiro-cracker get appointed to a Science Post anyway?

Chiropractors are to Science...

As a back massage is to a cure for cancer.

So you think a person’s religious beliefs should be scrutinized and laid bare as a qualification of public service?

Also, Dr. Alters analogy is not true. Believing the world is flat and believing in creation are not akin and there’s not controversy in her comparisons, with creation, there is controversy.

“It is the same as asking the gentleman, ‘Do you believe the world is flat?' and he doesn't answer on religious grounds,” said Dr. Alters. “Or gravity, or plate tectonics, or that the Earth goes around the sun.”

No, it's not the same. The ToE is not even in the same league as those other areas.

The macroevolution is based on the interpretation of the forensic evidence found in the fossil record. The kind of species to species change that is claimed by evos have never been observed but only assumed based on the fossil record.

I figured that the evos would want his head on a platter for not comforming to their world view, just like others whose careers have been ruined by the *scientific* community for not purporting the correct doctrinal position.

I’d say that the misister has proven his qualifications for the job with that statement.

Those that wrap themselves in the naturalist religion of evolution are prone to ignoring the abundant evidence that refutes their religious beliefs, thus crippling much of biology by diverting funds for research into dead end projects.

“It is the same as asking the gentleman, ‘Do you believe the world is flat?' and he doesn't answer on religious grounds,” said Dr. Alters. “Or gravity, or plate tectonics, or that the Earth goes around the sun.”

So why doesn't anybody ask those questions?
