I know.. I know.. all these people are not real scientists, uninformed buffoons because they didn't run it by Lenny I suppose. Guffaw!
1) The Penguin Dictionary of Biology. The authors: "M. Abercrombie...was Professor of Embryology and then Professor of Zoology at University College London..."; "C.J. Hickman was Professor of Plant Sciences at the University of Western Ontario"; "M.L. Johnson..taught zoology at Birmingham University." (Abercrombie M., Hickman C.J., & Johnson M.L., "The Penguin Dictionary of Biology," 1985, reprint, p1)
2) The Oxford Concise Science Dictionary: does not have biographical details about the authors but lists them as "Alan Isaacs BSc, PhD, DIC", "John Daintith BSc, PhD" and "Elizabeth Martin MA." (Isaacs A., Daintith J. & Martin E., eds., "Concise Science Dictionary," 1991, pvi)
3) The Collins Reference Dictionary of Biology: authors are Professor W.G. Hale, B.Sc., Ph.D., D.Sc., F.I.Biol., is Dean of the Faculty of Science and Head of the Department of Biology at Liverpool Polytechnic;" and "Dr J.P. Margham, B.Sc., Ph.D., Dip.Gen., M.I. Biol., is Principal Lecturer and Course Leader for the B.Sc. Honours Applied Biology Degree at Liverpool Polytechnic." (Hale W.G., & Margham J.P., "Collins Reference Dictionary of Biology," Collins: London, 1988 reprint, p.i)
I was present at a debate between Duane Gish and Doug a number of years ago and watched Gish systematically destroy Doug to the point that I was concerned for Doug's mental well being... it was indeed pitiful to behold. I think one can even buy a video or transcript of the debate (evolution butt whipping)
This is the same old argument from superior intellect and hubris people can't tolerate: " People simply don't understand evolution because it is so comlex and esoteric and complicated that the american citizenry simply cannot grasp it in full ... the're too dumb. Then our attempts to explain evolution to the ignorant masses and intellectual buffons require we superior high IQ evolutionist types to put it into easy to understand terminology .. that the backward, fundamentalist, religious, unscientific, unsophisticated American populace could comprehend while still accurately portraying the essence of the theory, have been inadequate." (the morons who don't accept what we feed them at face value as fact may have to simply be ignored and eliminated by any means necessary from public discourse)
Not if, but when the bright light of ID and IC analysis is focused on the details of evolution and the real historical evidence of same is made clear we believe that same population will readily understand and comprehend the greatest hoax, fraud and conspiracy in scientific circles in modern history. We have great faith in the intelligence and common sense reasoning power of the American people.
When they understand the mindset of people wo can look at a old world wolf skeleton and see it is really a whale ancestor ...... and hundreds more examples, they might ask if there is anything more to this complex subject than diagrams filled with dashed lines (no evidence extant) and figurines made from 5% bone and 95% plaster of paris.
As for me such an intellect will have no trouble discerning transitional forms in the leaves of of an empty te cup.
