Hi AΩKid,

I believe that what Capt. S is suggesting is something along the lines of this;
"I can't imagine how mammalian red blood cells evolved into their current form, therefore this is evidence that they did not evolve."
You have to acknowledge that the above is fallacious nonsense. The problem is that your argument sounds very much along these lines. Perhaps you could tell us where it differs?

Well you guessed wrong. I was trained in college for a scientific field. I was employed in a scientific field when I graduated. And since that time, I have been managing a company that produces products for a scientific field. I also have been published in a scientific publication. Does that make me a scientist?
No.
quote:
A scientist, in the broadest sense, refers to any person that engages in a systematic activity to acquire knowledge or an individual that engages in such practices and traditions that are linked to schools of thought or philosophy. In a more restricted sense, scientist refers to individuals who use the scientific method.[1] The person may be an expert in one or more areas of science.[2]-wiki
Can't say that I've noticed any of that on your part. You do realise though that your status as a scientist or otherwise is an irrelevance don't you? I thought you hated logical fallacies. Surely you're not trying to argue from authority?
Are you going to continue to imply that you are a scientist or are you going to explain how your blood cell argument differs from the fallacious one that I presented above?
Or are you going to go off topic of page one of your own thread?
