I am genuinely interested in your thoughts
"Hi nice post, i am interested to hear more about your thoughts on ID and creationism, I am also a microbiologist but have an opposinbg view. I am genuinely interested in your thoughts"
Certainly, always glad to speak with someone who wants to talk not argue. Would you be a little more specific when you say "opposing view'? Do you mean opposed to my "special creation" views, or do you mean that you think "ID" proponents are religious fanatics when I say they are mild in their views? I not quite sure how to answer.
Now you need to know that even though I have a B.S. in Microbiology, I have never completed any graduate study in the field. Also, I am a state government hack, and have done most of my work in other areas or as a bench chemist most recently. So, since my degree is 24 years old, my knowledge is somewhat dated. Also, as I said, I don't keep up with the latest "creationist" literature. The point is that I would not be the best source of information.
