Some of this seems to be getting pretty ridiculous.

“And just to complete the symmetry, why should anyone believe creationists, who I dare say probably can't among the lot of them demonstrate having spent a single afternoon in the field, much less published anything of consequence, over the innumerable geologists, (of which I am one), mineralogists, paleontologists, geophysicists, oceanographers, chemists and physicists, who have been studying the Earth in minute detail for well over 300 years at the cost of much blood, sweat, and tears?”
SW responds by saying:
“If you knew anything about Creationists you would not have made your last statement. Apparently you are not aware, but you should be, that there are Creationists with Ph.Ds from Harvard, there are Creationists who have been published in both Science and Nature. There are Creationists who worked for NASA. Your statement is utterly ridiculous and demonstrates your obvious lack of knowledge on the subject.”
LastPoet wants SW to name some of these creationists…so he does.
Synackaon accuses SW of “playing the name game”.
Really, Syn? So SW wasn’t merely answering LastPoet’s question?
LastPoet responds by coming up with some silly syllogism as if that was what SW was arguing. Come on!! You can’t be serious.
Lastly, Synackaon says “The science, not the person, actually matters.” And he does so shortly after criticizing SW for bringing up Kurt Wise. Does he criticize Wise for his science? No. He criticizes him for some statement he made directed toward his ideology not based on his science. Seems pretty inconsistent on Syn’s part.
