That's too bad because while I have problems with evolution per se...I am not generally anti-science.

I love this statement. I love it because of what the subsequent conversation tends to reveal. Poster after poster has made exactly such a statement on these threads, only to eventually reveal that there would be nothing left of science as we know it today if all the parts rejected by said poster were discredited.

The typical FR creationist who happily says he only rejects evolution in fact rejects geology (supports Old Earth and contains the fossil record), paleontology (full of people saying transitional forms exist when the talking points clearly say they don't), astronomy (supports an Old Universe), the Big Bang (Old Universe Cosmology) and nuclear chemistry (supports an Old Earth via radiometric dating). It turns out all of those things are covered by the term "evolution" in Creo-Speak. That's why you can find a web page with a title like "50 Questions for Evolutionists" and read ten questions before there's anything remotely connected to biology. (Example: "Where did all the matter in the universe come from?")

Take those subjects out of science and you're back to Phlogiston Theory.

I stand by my statement...I am not against the scientific method !

I simply reject the hypocrisy of those so "called" scientists who criticise the creationists of resorting to unscientific A Priori Biases when those same scientists have not dealt with their own unscientific A Priori biases!

Where dishonesty occurs in not admitting to the hidden agendas that drive the main agenda in a man...whether creationist or secularist scientist...Reason declares that a pox should be placed on that man's house!
