Quote:Oh no, you are going to take over this guy's introduction thread? That's not very nice. I think I have backed my Scientific Knowledge up quite well. I am quite frankly skeptical of your Scientific Education- let me guess High School diploma? It can't be more than that. I work as an Environmental Scientist for the Department of Ag. I don't post while at work (don't even have access to this site), so you don't have to worry about me wasting your precious tax dollars. Take that beef out with those running congress.
So, if I need soil samples analyzed for herbicides and pesticides, I know who to call. Good to know. If I want rock samples tested via radioisotopic methods, I think I'll do that myself. You'll probably screw those up.
I was an environmental consultant working for companies such as Chevron and Marathon for 20 years before I became disabled. During that time, I remained active as a field geologist, conducting geologic and karst surverys, collecting minerals and fossils, and am published in the Journal of Paleontology.

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
