I apologize, it wasn’t you that said I was anti-science.
Thanks for the source, I have never heard of this man. I agree describing it as squishy is misleading. The article I gave you said it was pliable. That isn’t the same thing.
I don’t have a persecution complex you said this
“I have never seen a creationist discuss her findings in context of any of the other evidence for how old T. rex bones are. They just wave this one discovery as though it’s some kind of trump card, and on top of it they lie about the nature of the soft tissue discovered, calling it “squishy.”
This one article says squishy not all creationists. I am a creationist therefore by default I was accused of lying.
Enjoying the discussion, keep it coming!
Well, there's the guy who posted it here, who presumably agrees with the characterization; and I know at least one person here has compared the soft tissue to supermarket steaks; so there's three. But
I am a creationist therefore by default I was accused of lying.
I think it's a common form of speech to refer to a group that way--"conservatives came together in tea parties" doesn't mean every single conservative in the country attended one--and it was just an example of why Schweitzer would feel like her work was hijacked. So I think you're overreacting, but I'll be more careful in the future. I know I bristle when all evos are held responsible for everything Richard Dawkins and PZ Myers say.
Enjoying the discussion, keep it coming!
Me too. There've been a couple of stumbles, but on the whole I think we've managed to keep this surprisingly civil.
So let me ask you: what is your favorite evidence for young-earth, one-time creation? I don't mean things evolution can't explain or even things, like the soft tissue, that YEC offers an alternative explanation for. I mean, is there anything that you think points to YEC as the sole possible reason for?
