“Ann Coulter’s recent book is a good example of how to be a lawyer or celebrity, but it is not a good example of how to do science.”

Coyote, you are so full of crap its almost hard to believe. e.g. I know more about fitness nutrition than most so called experts in this field and I’m a network security engineer (also with a geo-chemistry background), so quit with the formal credentials BS in order to speak. Anyone smart enough to read, can understand that darwinism is crap.

I was responding to the question:

What exactly qualifies one to "do science?"

My response was:

Simple; to do science one must follow the scientific method.

This is distinctly different from what lawyers do. The rules of evidence and the peer review process are two examples. Other differences are in the "judging" of evidence and the target audience.

Ann Coulter's recent book is a good example of how to be a lawyer or celebrity, but it is not a good example of how to do science.

Your response seems to boil down to "so quit with the formal credentials BS in order to speak."

If you will reread my response, above, I said nothing about formal credentials. I stated that to do science, one must follow the scientific method.

Do you have a problem with this?

(And lay off the profanity. It does neither you nor your cause any credit.)
