Am I right? :-) Well you played the game that because someone is a Creationist it instantly invalidates their argument (your fantasy), so I am just playing that game right back with you :-) It is kind of a lame game huh?
Actually, I'm glad you mentioned that.
I keep bringing it up for two reasons -
The first and most important reason is because you've identified yourself as a former math and science teacher and a current government scientist (no doubt given job when the Bush Administration was still in power, assuming you work in the United States - but that's just one of my patented baseless assertions).
The second reason in order but not stature is to examplify how easily your arguements are refuted using concepts you should be intimately familiar with as someone who should have an understanding of math and science at least to the level of a teenage student.
The fact that your statements and beliefs clearly fail to live up even those standards helps to prove my point becuase so far you don't seem to have actually made any counterpoints to my refutations of that light propogation nonsense given that it cannot conform to a basic understanding of math and science.
As such, I've no reason to believe any of your arguements or credentials have any validity.
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925
Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan
