Evolution Trumps Creationism

[Zazzy]

Are these not your words?

I'm an evolutionary biologist by trade,

According to the last post on page 3 these are indeed your words. Then you tell me your a high school science teacher on post 4 page 11.

The term by trade means as a profession. To say you are 'x' by trade means your primary responsiablity is 'x' and not grading papers, and cleaning lab stations for the next class. Even if evolutionary biology was all you taught it still does not make you an evolutionary biologist 'by trade.' It makes you a teacher by trade.

Again absolutly nothing wrong with being a teacher as far as this discussion goes. For that matter there is nothing wrong with being caught in a lie, as far as this discussion goes. I am perfectly willing to forget the whole thing so long as you are and do not insist that I must adopt your page 3 persona.

Please read that post again to discover what I do now.
I can't figure out if you aren't good at reading, or if you are simply dishonest.

I'll repost the same thing, only with bold text to help you out. Read it this time and then you can apologize to me.

Drich, after reading your latest barrage of incivility, I wonder if it is possible to have an honest discussion with you. Since you are worried about my bona fides: yes, I was a high school teacher for many years, before I did 6 years of university teaching and graduate school coursework and bench research in evolutionary molecular genetics, but I have continued to work with teens throughout that time to improve science education. You really, really don't want to believe that I am knowledgeable on the subject, and that's OK with me. But please don't insult high school teachers- many of whom are highly educated trained scientists who choose to work with a younger age group.
