>>Isn’t it possible that God created the cosmos millions of years ago?
Billions — and that is what people who understand science agree upon, irrespective of their theological bent.
Hissy Fit Matthews? Is that you?
Mr. Dumb, you keep using this phrase, or one similar, quite frquently. Are you speaking of journalists, or pundits?
Who do you think "understands science?" Do you have the slightest idea what the word science means?
I ask this because you seem to be of the erroneous belief that consensus can play a part in science. Back in 1975-76 when I was working on the rebuttal to the Draft Environmental Impact Report for the Peripheral Canal, we had assembled a group of the very best real scientists in the state to analyze the assertions that the report contained. Biologists, Ichthyologists, Estuarine Sediment Engineers, mostly from local colleges and universities.
My goal was in a general way to establish a consensus in each area, and thereby present a basis for doubt on every assertion of the report. It turned out to be a difficult undertaking, because by their nature real scientists reject any attempt to get them committed to consensus. Even for such an important cause as preventing the destruction of the Califoenia Delta.
You, on the other hand, as an observer seem to see consensus in every basket. Your vision seems to need correction.
