Research? I am a research scientist.

I get an earful of creationism right here on FR almost daily.

And I don't need to go to creationist sources to learn about science.

Your source was mindless drivel that couldn't differentiate the theory of evolution of species from the hypothetical abiogenesis of life; RIGHT FROM THE FIRST PARAGRAPH.

How does my pointing out that there are Geocentrist FReepers who say things like ‘Of course I am a Geocentrist, all Bible-believeing Christians are Geocentrists’ reflect upon my faith in Christ?

It instead illustrated my point; once you give up on reason in favor of your own supposed infallibility in scriptural interpretation; you may as well go whole hog and be a Geocentrist. You know what YEC creationists say about your faith in the word of God? The same thing you are saying about mine.

Piety is not measured on a sliding scale of how outlandishly you interpret the Bible. Geocentrists are not more devout and pious or better Christians than those that accept that the Earth is in orbit around the Sun. YEC’s are not more devout or more Christian than OEC’s. Those that think all species were created in their present form and somehow cannot change past non-defined boundaries are not more devout or pious or better Christians than those that accept the theory of evolution through natural selection of genetic variation.

“Geocentrist.” You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

I’m thinking being a “humanoid swallowing cetationists” is also a requirement...

"Research? I am a research scientist."

AMD, the fact that you do 'research' does not make you a scientist. Your absurdly biased, and dishonest mindset permanently precludes you from ever becoming a real scientist. Just like there's no crying in baseball, there's no lying in science.
