The Argument Clinic

Implied belittlement of working people noted. But even if I were a humble shelf-stocker in a store, I would still be doing more for society than your Facebook page has contributed. And I note you didn’t answer the question about Ehrman.

It’s evident that you’re not a scholar, because you personalize issues. You make this a contest between yourself and myself. A scholar would stick to the arguments, and keep people out of it. You made a claim about the meaning of a Gospel passage. I asked you to defend the claim. Since then you have done nothing except utter a torrent of personal abuse against me. Obviously this is a defense mechanism, to keep readers here focused on your accusations against me, in hope that they will not notice that you have not answered the question.

I suspect that all but one or two people have ceased reading our exchange, so I don’t know who you are hoping to impress by railing against me. But if you have nothing better to do (as I suspect is the case), go ahead, rail away.

I would think that at least some chemists, those of the more philosophical type, spend time reflecting on the periodic table and its connection with fine-tuning. (For details, see the six books of Denton I have previously cited – no, not his first one.)

The others are listed in the front end pages. I’m not going to take the time to type out all their names. But they are scientists with real positions at significant institutions, and they aren’t Discovery Fellows. My point was only to confirm vjtorley’s statement that bona fide scientists who have said nice things about ID books do in fact exist. I’m not trying to prove they are correct, just that they exist.
