Creationists misrepresent science out of necessity.

Yeah, I'm sure it was a creationist who perpetrated Piltdown Man, or archaeoraptor, or hurriedly misclassified Lucy, the Hobbit, and any other number of primate fossils in a bid to bolster the ToE.

So, where to those who think that they're scientists get off acting like they're THE FINAL WORD on truth? Scientists aren't ever wrong? They don't ever misrepresent science for personal or professional gain?

They never fudge results to make themselves look better?

They're just paragons of virtue and integrity and everyone can always trust implicitly everything a scientist has to say because they're never wrong?

Scientists do not represent science out of necessity. Some do so for unethical reasons surely.

Nothing is misclassified about Lucy, she is an australopithocine. But again if you rely upon creationist sources you will be misinformed; because creationists misrepresent science out of necessity.

A theory in science is accepted provisionally, awaiting contradictory data to change and adjust. It is only small minded creationist who think that anything that contradicts their “FINAL WORD” must also be claiming to be the “FINAL WORD” but again, it just shows how ignorant creationists are about science, its findings, and its methodology.

Science has an unparalleled track record of being accurate in its findings and predictions about the physical world. Theological musings about how reality SHOULD be constructed based upon scripture.... not so much. Such thinking leads to Geocentrism and hydroplaning continents and other such lunacy.

[[Yeah, I’m sure it was a creationist who perpetrated Piltdown Man, or archaeoraptor, or hurriedly misclassified Lucy, the Hobbit, and any other number of primate fossils in a bid to bolster the ToE.]]

Not to mention that goign WAY beyond the science using assumptions and extrapolations which do NOT fit the evidence is apparently the ‘science’ that we’re all supposedly ‘ignorant about’- after all- their dating methods (which are riddled with problems) show that somethign is ‘millions of years old’ and anyone questioning the methods used to date material, and presentign facts which point out hte problems with the methods used, is apparently ‘manipul;ating science’.

The evos know their hypothesis is in deep trouble, and apparently al lthey can manage is to call anyone who doesn’;t buy into TOE unscientific. GGG has presented reams of evidnece refuting the claims of evolution, exposiong the extrapolated and unwarrented assumptions by evolution advocates, and all we EVER hear from some on FR who support TOE are insults about GGG, insults about the article writers, and attacks o ntheir characters- the evos are never interested in discussing the articles, nor of providing evidence contrary to hte articles (apparentl because they can’t find any evidence)- and all they can do is yammer on about how we suppsoedly don’t know WTH we’re talking about- despite the fact we’re the ones presenting hte evidence that refutes TOE claims, exposing the problems with the TOE, and hsowing that nature is incapable of the miraculous events which they claim happened, and they show that they themselves can’t refute the issues with any scientifically valid arguments

All a Dawwinist has to do is say they took a course and chant some silliness and the world is supposed to genuflect.
Ahhh....We don’t do that.
