Ray, pretty much nothing in that comment was true or accurate except that nothing refutes the Cambrian explosion.

you shouldn't have said that. Now that ray has someone who disagrees with him, he knows he's right.

I know...I know. I shouldn't have fed the troll...but damn...sometimes the ignorance burns so hot it grabs you and pulls you toward the keyboard before you can stop.

Re: Morality and bicamerality
Have you seen any surveys of scientists who claim to believe in God? One was published recently in America Scientist (I've have to go find it but I'm too lazy right now) showed that <5% of scientists surveyed claimed to believed in God.
​
I have a hard time believing those data are accurate. I have a lot of colleagues who claim a belief in God.

Re: Morality and bicamerality
I couldn't find the article, so I'll back off on my statement. Googleing the topic will produce a variety of survey results. The atheists claim low believership among scientists and the faithful claim otherwise. ”HM
​
I'll dig around and see if I can find it. You could well be right, it just seems low compared to the number of fellow scientists I personally know who identify themselves as Christian. Although thinking about it since you wrote that, I'm thinking perhaps 15% isn't too far off the mark. Whether or not my dataset is representative across science though...*shrug*

Re: In a few million years
Uh uh were heading back to the trees.

I'd recommend defending those trees. At the rate humans are building all over everything, before long you might have to search long and hard to find a suitable one...

Re: I guess maybe I don't know the quality of a South African education.
and all the classic icons of evolution are misrepresented
​
Finally maybe something we can work with. All is a lot...let's start with one. List ONE "classic icon of evolution" that is "misrepresented." And please clarify--misrepresented by whom? The scientific community? The media?

Have to find another thread or I will be banished once again.
​
Yeah, as soon as I hit send I realized just how off topic that would become.
