Re: logical leap off the precipice, better start phlapping
That Dawkins endorses evolution does not make evolution any more valid. 1 billion scientists opinions have no validity as opposed to evidence.
​
You didn't read my qualifier, here it is again.
​
When I say credence I'm not saying ID is valid or scientific, just that a portion of the scientific community is intrigued by it and may be willing to see it examined further rather than dismissed out of hand.
​
This is why I would not put ID in the same category as uncle bob.

Re: phishy phrasing
The hardest part of running an honest poll is phrasing the questions in answer neutral ways. Anything that is not neutral is seductive.
​
Absolutely true. But again. I find nothing seductive about the statement. If the statement was not used exactly as phrased in the pdf file, or if they asked a slightly different phrase and stuck all the names to the one in the pdf, then you have a point.

Re: protocols, please
Hi RAZD,
​
Been away a few days. Has a draft questionaire been assembled yet? Probably should start a separate thread on it, if not.

I'd like to see this continue forward. How many e-mails do we have, (i.e. percent complete)?
​
Note to Admins: Why hasn't Arach's draft list of questions been promoted as a separate thread?
