Re: What's the point, Faith?

I'm sorry, Faith, but I really don't see how you could possibly have defended evolution "and the works" when it's clear you don't know much about mainstream science. You are an extremely articulate person, no doubt about it, but the knowledge you think you have regarding mainstream science is nothing more than delusional. I don't think I've met anyone more proud of their intellect than you.
Like the good doctor, I can't even see the point in denying the firmly established findings of any natural science. Why don't these creationists just say it's a miracle instead of trying to rebuke science through ignorance of science? It seems their hatred of logic outweighs any belief God is omnipotent and can make miracles occur.
It would certainly be a more...ahem...rational course.
I've spent nearly 20 years as a geologist with a specialty in ore deposits, and I would never presume to think I know more than petrophysics about oil and gas (I am assuming that is his/her specialty based on the alias). Or any other geologist with a different specialty than myself, much less something completely outside my field. And yet you sit there and lecture us on geology. A rational person just does not do that.
I just have a degree in geological engineering I have never used beyond highgrading a few rare minerals as a hobby, so my input on this subject is worth far less than yours or petrophysics.
But unlike some people, we both know that.

Read not to contradict and confute, not to believe and take for granted, not to find talk and discourse, but to weigh and consider. - Francis Bacon
