SoSick, I've never asked anyone here if they have a degree in science. My point all along has been that you can find the answers you need if you want to look.
The point I was making about Hovind is that his credentials are fake. He claims to have been a high school physics teacher with a doctorate. High school physics teachers, in mainstream schools, have a degree in a scientific discipline; if not physics, then maybe chemistry or geology. All Hovind would have learned is "creation science" which is pseudoscience, and this is borne out by the scientific errors he repeatedly makes. And his PhD is from a diploma mill. Why would anyone get a degree from a diploma mill and then go around calling themselves a doctor? He is not the expert he professes to be and I question why he is building this smokescreen around himself when presumably the first people he ought to be honest with are his own "flock."
About quote mines again. SoSick you said:
I think if you read the bible you'll actually see quite a bit of trash. Mountains and mountains of trash . . . gotta wonder don't you?
What, you mean you didn't say that? But you did. These are your own words. I took them from this paragraph:
not enough room? really i don't get it. who is making the assumption again that all things dead died at one time? I think if you read the bible you'll actually see civilization rise for a good few thousand years before it fell and the flood happened. are you saying Linda, the people and animals were immortal prior to the flood? Do you have the ability to see the amount of stuff. people. plants. animals by the zillions altogether that has become just America, China, Europe in the past few hundred years? We'll be leaving behind quite a bit of trash just in the next decade. Mountains and mountains of trash and methane generating stuff. Are people and other life prior to our current civilization exempt from this? why? Maybe someday there will even be a great oil field under Manhattan island. Probably New Jersey actually. gotta wonder where all the sewage goes don't you?
By your own logic, my quote from you is an honest reflection of your views, and it's OK for me to tell everyone that SoSick said the Bible is full of trash.
If you think this is a little underhanded and unfair, then maybe creationists should stop doing it to scientists.
