Doubtful. It's just that everything that can be said about this topic, has been said......... endlessly........ over and over again..... in multiple threads.

Biology but also science education

Same here, and math.

Maybe I'm oversimplified, but you also seem to be talking around the scientific progression of Hypothesis, Theory, and Law. Or, has science decided that the progression is no longer valid? If not, has evolution reached the level of Law? As for Dawkins, you also didn't answer my question about laughing off the scientists that Strobel interviewed for his books, so if you don't recognize their contributions to science, then why should I recognize the contributions of a scientist that seems to be totally anti-God?

Maybe I'm being jaded here, but over the years, we've seen the results of "scientists" that declared eggs, butter, meat, and who knows what else, to be bad, only to find later that those things aren't as harmful as those "scientists" declared. We see the same thing in the climate science area. While there are some scientists claiming global warming is happening, there seems to be a lot more scientists saying that it is a normal cycle and that the climate is cooling.

This is a misguided, and in some cases completely wrong, view of what science is/does, and how it works. It appears you don't have a grasp on the very basics of science, let alone anything complex that you're trying to deal with here. I don't mean that as a personal attack. Unfortunately our society doesn't value the learning and teaching of science, and in many cases are taught wrongly about science (e.g., in many churches or religions), and so it's often left up to individuals to seek out that information. A majority of our nation's high school students graduate high school totally ignorant about science, it's methods, and other various important aspects. How many adults do you know that can explain the basics of science (correctly), explain the basic methods that science uses, and explain how to discern science from pseudoscience?

Are you a scientist? Is anyone in this thread a scientist? I'm not.

Yes...human (and non-human) behavior is my specialty, but I've played in other areas also.

I'm a chemist. I worked for the Saddam regime up until around '03. Times have been tough since I got laid off but I just found this new gig in Syria that looks really promising.

Yes, I'm a Geologist which includes a heavy dose of evolution. Evolution is constantly occurring. Look at your appendix; you don't need it now. However, one school of thought is that it was once needed to help digest tree bark and grasses. There is also a the Peppered Moth in England. Prior to the industrial revolution the lighter colored moth was dominate. However, after the introduction of pollution in the air, the dark colored moth became the dominate color because of better camouflage.

Evolution is a fact as far as I am concerned. As I mentioned several pages back, it is also obvious to me that creation has occurred through evolution. Meaning that creation is still occurring.

Why pile on?

Back to the original topic...
Thinking on it, I'd like a debate den where nothing is off limits with the exception of extreme personal attacks more than a Christian or non-Christian circlejerk area.
