well said joe. seems to me , that most of the evolutionary fraternity do want to muzzle descent from their dogma. what are they afraid of.
maybe, that those facts that don't fit , might make doubters, but there also seems to be an elitist mindset that reminds me of the gnostics....only the initiated by expansive learning will understand it. this , of course is convenient, and the corollary of which is, that anything that don't fit..or is evidence against it, can be left till the expected answer can be found, because we "know" evolutionism is true !
shimrod keeps digging himself into a hole-
3 sept 01;45 pm "btw, what is your area of interest, and how does it confirm Darwinism for you"   pete
    his eventual reply.. part of...
"..of course, this had nothing to do with evolutionary biology-which of course, I have freely admitted"    4 sept 06;26 shimrod, after detailing his quite extensive science experience.
my reply was to thank him for his answer and insight.....ie that evolution was not relevant to his [regular] science.
like I said....own goal.
then there is there is diversionary tactic of my qualifications!
I freely admit, that the best I have done is distance learning ,with London bible college at certificate level, and nothing compared to the dizzy heights attained by the scientists here.
however, it is the validity of the argument that matters, not the letters a debater may have after his name.
having said that, I have no argument with shimrods concession that his science fields have no bearing on evolutionism !.
