Re: Bad scientist or bad science?
quote:
It would be great if Darwinists had a modicum of introspection, besides having selfcorrection...
So how does one self-correct without some kind of 'introspection'?
quote:
... (or rather being corrected by the holocaust).
Hunh? What are you trying to say?
quote:
I see that you are applying that methodological naturalism. You methodologically throw out the evidence you don't like.
If that is your definition of methodological naturalism, I suppose so. However, coming from a YEC, this is an interesting statement. Are you saying that you do NOT throw out evidence that you don't like?
Do you have evidence of someone throwing out evidence that we can discuss? Making sweeping statements such as this are easy as long as they do not have to be supported.
quote:
That's why naturally the Darwinist eugenical textbook doesn't get admitted, but the Lysenko affair does. The textbook was not intentionally bad, and Lysenko was? You have no credibility anymore with me.
Somehow, I doubt that anyone cares.
quote:
I'm sure physicists are laughing at you out loud for saying it's sort of ok to enter the word stupid into the formulation of a theory, and you're not the first evolutionist either.
Actually, I have never heard anyone say this before. Can you document other evolutionists saying this?
Perhaps you are not familiar with some of the nuances of the word 'stupid'.
quote:
It's only the evolutionists in science who are this absurd.
Yep, only the vast majority of scientists worldwide. All absurd. And you, of course, are not.
quote:
You should have just denied the absurdity of course. People are perfectly justified to take something like for instance an earthquake personal.
Hunh? Are you still making sacrifices to the volcano these days?
quote:
There's nothing science can say about it because they can't go beyond choice, and or randomness,
WEll, then, there are an awful lot of books that say nothing about volcanos even though that have various titles suggesting that they know something about volcanos. Half my library, in fact, says that volcanos are random phenomena, or governed by choice? Tooooo weird for me.
quote:
...which is where personality comes from according to common knowledge.
What common knowledge is this? Can you document this knowledge? I have never seen a post to this effect.
quote:
You can just read the introduction that highly credentialled scientists in the discipline give to see that evolution is bad science, and discard it.
Yes, that is why everyone has discarded evolution. Who are these 'highly credentialed scientists' and what discipline are you talking about?
quote:
But what would happen under a vouchersystem is that there would be many versions of Darwinist theory to choose from.
Actually, I don't know anyone that teaches 'Darwinism' these days. Your ideas regarding evolution seem quite out of date.
quote:
Some would be like the Hitler youth was taught, and some would be atheist like you apparently favor, and some would be more in tune with the ideal of neutrality in science.
Actually, evolution says nothing about politics or atheism. And though science is neutral, scientists seldom are and most are strongly biased toward evidence.
