“I direct you to ask the “highly-educated”, Jesuit Doctor, who hijacked the thread topic to focus it on himself.”
Being a scientist myself, I respect academic studies and the continued search for understanding. I am not in any way critical of the good Dr.
The Dr. Did not hijack the thread any more than those who took the bait of arguing the credibility of those credentials.
I put no human on a pedestal, nor no one under one. Let the words speak for themselves.
There is a very important lesson in this thread for everyone.
When you play the "I have a PhD and you don't so I'm smarter than you card" be expected to be asked for proof of the credentials.
The good doctor himself did this to others on other threads when people challenged what he believed.
Good idea!
