Now, truth be told I think you’re all a bunch of pussies due to the fact that you can’t confront one measly creationist. You act as if it’s beneath you or that you don’t have the time to go back and forth with someone whom you believe has everything wrong. YET, some of you seem to have hours upon hours to sit in this forum and banter with a 43 year old mother of 2 who is neither a scientist nor much of an intellect at all, for Gods sake. Get off your high horses and start communicating respectfully with your opposition. |
Ftk,
You haven't explained why Walt and other creationists require special treatment that scientists don't enjoy:

A question for you, Ftk. In science, the originators of new ideas publish them along with evidence and supporting arguments. If the evidence is strong and the arguments make sense, others come to accept the new ideas. If the evidence is weak, or worse yet, if it contradicts or undercuts the new ideas, or if the arguments are irrational, then the new ideas will not gain acceptance. None of this involves having "a long series of respectful conversations" with the originator of a new idea to find out where he or she is "coming from."
Walt Brown just published the 8th edition of his book. After eight editions, what has he left out? If there is something crucial that is not in the book, but that would come out during "a long series of respectful conversations", then why didn't he add it to one of those eight editions?
Real scientists are able to communicate their ideas persuasively to others through their writings. Why does Walt need an additional crutch?
If his ideas are valid, why can't he make a persuasive written case for them like real scientists do? |
