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.I'm not 'worried' about anything. I have debated this topic with university professors, and well as Theologians, to guys who flip burgers. it makes absolutly no difference to me.. So long as they do not lie about what they do as some ill conceived way to establish or force respect of their knowledge on this topic. which is really meaningless anyway, because again this is not an evolutionary discussion, but how the Whole of evolution now fits with in the confines of creation.
I look to accurately represent myself here, and what I say. If I can answer a question, then I will. If I can not then I will say I cant. My job nor yours should have any bearing on what is being discussed here. If you wish to proceed then proceed as Zazzy, not Zazzy the science teacher who taught at a university who originally represented him/herself as an evolutionary biologist. That way I can simply be Drich, and answer your questions or tell you I don't know.
Quote:Can you try to be civil to me so we can have a good conversation, or are you more interested in being insulting? I'm not going to trade potshots with you.why do you consider exposing the truth insulting? I have nothing against high school science teachers. (not anymore anyway as I am not in highschool anymore.) My only issue with you was, you said you were someone/something that you were not. That problem has since been rectified in my minds eye.
My problem is not even with liars, but the lies themselves. In order for their to be an absolute or truthful conclusion, their can not be any unknowns or unaccounted for variables in the equation. Lies are unknowns or unaccounted for variables. If you are truly looking to explore my 'theory' or the revelation that entire evolutionary process could have occoured between Genesis 2 and Genesis 3, then you need to be completely honest with yourself and honest with me.
I would have normally let something like this go, but you have continually pressed the idea of truly exploring this theory... In order to truly explore something, should we not start with the truth?
