The Statler Waldorf Balcony

Synackaon accuses SW of “playing the name game”.

Really, Syn? So SW wasn’t merely answering LastPoet’s question?

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.

First off, in my defense, asking for names is ridiculous. Second, I noted that Kurt Wise has made a statement equating to placing ideology over science, thus showing him to be a poor scientist.

You can't have your cake and eat it too.

Thirdly, I note that the people involved hold questionable motives, thus placing them under scrutiny. Saying that you'll deny facts and evidence because your magic man said so is plainly ridiculous - especially ridiculous to hear from a scientist.

Also, I gave out examples to combat the "He has a PhD and that makes him worth listening too" with actual examples of wing nuts who also happen to be educate.

To conclude, yes, the objective facts matter in the YEC debate. But one must keep in mind that those who clearly state they will ignore science, and thus the objectivity, to match their beliefs, will clearly contribute misleading information if need be. Thus the science is poisoned. It's called "poisoning the well"


rjh4 - I am questioning the evidence offered and giving counter evidence.

Go suck an egg, you troll.
