As opposed to creationists, whose biases and agendas are obvious for all to see. I guess there’s some value in that...

“The only thing we have going for us that Hollywood and politicians don’t is objectivity,” he told Science magazine.[1] Can the public trust the objectivity of scientists as a class? Do they get more credibility points than other groups of professionals?"

As the son of a world-renowned scientist, I can personally attest that those who are certain their judgment is "objective" are fully susceptible to deluding themselves.

Their confidence in their own objectivity only serves to make them more arrogant and condescending in expressing their personal biases.

One of the more important lessons I learned in high school physics was the procedure of “fudging” the results to get the desired answer. In that case, the payoff was a better grade.

To a working scientist, the payoff is continued funding.

Yes, when there is so much funding at stake....there is fraud to be had. Wow.....so since there is some fraud, nothing is to be trusted but the Bible in all affairs concerning the sciences.

Having been in the field, I’d say most of the fraud I witnessed was “passing on someone else’s work as your own”....and not “making it up” “fudging the numbers” or any other statistical play.

Where in the Bible does God tell Noah to NOT gather up a male and female of each kind of dinosaur? Or was the decision all Noah’s....to purposely let hundreds of species of God’s creations become extinct on a humanly whim?

Scientists are flawed like everybody else.

The atheists more so.

Why can’t Dr. Daniele Fanelli get his research published in a REAL journal?

And Creationists attempt to claim they are not anti-Science?

What then the intent of this essay if not to attempt to discredit science, scientists and the scientific method?

To the point where if I don’t see it with my own lying eyes I just don’t believe it.
And I’m skeptical of what my eyes see.

I sat in church this week listening to the message and kept thinking, “MAN, GodGunsGuts needs to hear this!”

Well, take some time to listen to what my pastor had to say: http://www.gsumc.org/247036.ihtml?ResourceID=1350&type=0

(The message starts after some statistics were shown demonstrating the falling appeal of Christianity according to polls.)

You fit the mold perfectly. You - GodGunsGuts - are famous on this board for being against scientists, evolution, and ANYONE who dares suggest the universe is a *wee* bit older than a few thousand years. Even when people like myself suggest we should all celebrate the fact we have the same savior, you tell me “NO - you worship a FALSE GOD! You are DAMNED.”

Listen to the sermon. You are THAT GUY. As Talbot suggests, you are better at driving people away from Christianity than you are at drawing people TO IT.

Listen to the sermon.
