jar writes: One big reason that Creationism is bankrupt is shown in your statement that "OTOH The more educated and intelligent creationsists tend to go where their POV prevails and where they have more freedom to speak their mind in the science fora."The way you learn is by having what you know challenged. Going where your point of view prevails is neither intelligent nor is it a way to become educated. Oh ho! So that's your problem. By you're own admission you're too coddled here amongst your own ideological kind to get apprised and have what you know challenged. How about following your own advice to become intelligent and educated by moving on to a creationist board where you would need to take the heat as I do here. BUZSAW B 4 U 2 C Y BUZ SAW.

Why Buz, do you think I don't get challenged here? And what makes you think I do not also visit other boards? Do you expect anyone to take that as anything other than another of your unsupportable assertions?
Just for your information though, let me tell you what happens at many Creationist and Christian boards. Unlike here, where you are allowed to post freely, the Creationist and Christian boards cannot stand questioning and critical thinking, and so they ban anyone that is not a member of the Christian Communion of Bobbleheads.

This is called the Black Knight syndrome, but I heartily agree about your and Buz's writing skills, right up there! As someone commented above, sloppy writing often accompanies sloppy thinking, but not always, and contrariwise, even the most erudite among us often harbor at least a few wacky ideas. I am not a juggernaut... I've just always like the ring it has to it! And yes, and speaking from probability, I no doubt am ultimately wrong about at least some belief that I ascribe to. That said, I'm pretty sure I'm not all nuts and screws.

The facts though is that my positions are quite often challenged. The difference is that EvC allows challenge while the Christian forums seem to fear it. That is what drives the avoidance schools and the home schooling trend. Immigration has been a problem Since 1607!

I just waded through the "Lake Varve Sediments and the Great Flood" discussion and it was painful. I do not know how you guys (Percy, jar, edge, anglagard and the rest) can interpret posts like the ones from reversespin.
for example from message #108
reversespin writes: In respect to a kettle lake you have the topography like a bowl like say lake suitisu. I suspect more kettle lakes would have varves similar to lake suitsu only because of their topography in respect to how varves are being expressed do to the waves sweeping organics diatoms etc... from the watershed everytime you have a storm, so multitude of varves support the creationists young earth senerio because they are not all annual varves.I think here your looking that all are annual varves however due to the topography it more like a miners bowl as the waves roll to shore how would not the currents not sweep pollen clays toward the center to be expressed as multitudes of varves as they sorted by liquefaction over the years. When the flood waters washed off the continents until the plants restablished the earth you could only have the watershed contributing to the varves being formed so what your looking at is the majority of those varves are not annual varves the last 5400 years since the biblical flood no doubt contributed additional varves. and this from message #111
reversespin writes: You have the russian study of siberian tropical plants living in the yucon pennisula, all dating less than 9760 years. Then you have the purdue university study expressing the artic sea temp not air temp was once 73 degrees F. thats only approximately 7 degrees cooler than the oceanwater at the equator today. The links if your interested are on Razd correlations thread but the point is Greenland ice cores could not of existed 9,760 years because tropical plants were thriving up in the Artic circle and nothing older than 9760 years was dated by 14 C dating in the yucan pennisula. Its not as if the mountain of ice in greenland where the ice cores are taken is held up by granite mountains like ice capped mountains you might see in Seattle Washington, etc... The russian study and the purdue study raises questions how a mountain of ice could of existed if near tropical temperatures of the waters of the ocean even north of Greenland, etc... P.S. I suspect those stories that the vickings inhabited a Greenland are more correct than the scientific myths that greenlands been a mountain of ice for 100's of thousands of years. To me, these are not just poor writing skills, but almost completely incomprehensible. Could reversespin read what he wrote, out-loud, without bursting out laughing? Everything he wrote is gibberish. It reminds me of trying to interpret what is written in many parts of the Bible. Maybe that is why they write that way? I guess I'm just a dumb entomologist that can't understand their scientific language! What if Eleanor Roosevelt had wings? -- Monty Python You can't build a Time Machine without Weird Optics -- S.

scientist are better learned with more schooling than the average person. the higher education are more willing to accept Darwin theory to the letter, based on the scientific evidence which is broad. It is a mistake to deify scientists, which all too many people on this forum, and the general public, are apt to do. Any discipline has its experts in that particular field. And they no doubt deserve some credit for their hard won efforts. But there is this wrong-headed philosophy that abounds concerning scientists -- that they are the be-all, end-all -- as if no other human being could possibly add anything of substance to any given debate. For instance, I have a friend of mine who is a graduate of both MIT (Aeronautics) and CalTech (Chemical Engineering), arguably two of the most distinguished and prestigious technical universities in the nation, and possibly even the world. He now works with NASA, Boeing, Lockheed and Martin, etc. There is no discounting the man's genius.... in his field. Consequently, he is also a man that couldn't compose a coherent sentence if his life depended on it, and who is practically incapable of tying his own shoelaces. He is socially clumsy, ignorant of most things beyond his field, mostly immature, and morally bankrupt. I wouldn't take his advice on almost any subject because of his immaturity and on account that he knows almost nothing about the real world. His field is one that has yielded a treasure trove of knowledge. There is no sense in withholding the praise that it deserves, but within reason. As we have seen throughout the centuries, knowledge begets knowledge, as one technological breakthrough gives credit to the one before it, and so on. But should I assume that he is better, or more intelligent than the rest of us because of his PhD's? I should hope not. “First dentistry was painless, then bicycles were chainless, and carriages were horseless, and many laws enforceless. Next cookery was fireless, telegraphy was wireless, cigars were nicotineless, and coffee caffeineless.

true.
yet to debate a science you have to understand the fundamentals or you'll be talking to renowned cosmologists about gravity and rocks spinning around mountains. i acknowledge that science is open to debate, but patrons should have at least a basic knowledge of a topic before they choose to debate it.

And that is what is so great about EvC. I do get challenged and learn something new every single day. I welcome and embrace challenge, I do not shy away from it or try to limit it. That is why EvC is so different than the Creationist boards like Terry's. Here challenge is not just allowed, it is encouraged. Look at how many times I've encouraged you to actually support your assertions. Immigration has been a problem Since 1607!

Others have already pointed this out, but in my linguistics class we spoke a little about the correlation between proper use of conjunctions and mental logic. It turns out that the more properly a person uses such things, the better his/her ability to process things in a logical manner.
I would assume that the correlation does indeed go further, as others have suggested, into areas of writing organization and thought organization, etc. Anyway...

Zawi writes: I agree with you on that issue of clarity. When I came to EvC almost four years ago, my posts were quite sloppy and disorganized. I was in such a hurry to grab the soapbox and trumpet my vague and undefined beliefs that I stumbled all over myself in the presentation!
The writing style of creationists doesn't necessarily betray a lack of education, it's just that their writing style is usually unclear. Rational thinkers are much more concerned with clarity than irrational thinkers.
