the person really did want an answer, I will post my reply publicly - so
that
he or she can read it from the Calvin archives - but will refrain from
revealing his/her actual identity.
======================
Actually, I de-killfiled you, hoping you would not do something like this -
make a spectacle in an attempt to sound important. I have already 'revealed'
my identity. I find it most informative that you are wont not to do the same.
====================
>>>[anti-IDist who blocked me] Who are you and what are your publications?
=======================
This of course was in response to DNAunions silly 'attempt' to find out if I
was someone on another message board. Notice that he did not paste that part.
======================
DNAunion: Just as others here and elsewhere wish to protect their identity,
so do I, so I will not explictly reveal who I am, nor will I do anything
that
would identify who I am indirectly. All I will say is that my two areas of
study in college were biology and computer information systems. I believe
my
full qualifications are irrelevant as long as I can back up my statements
with valid scientific material.
========================
True, to an extent. But I've yet to really see any from you. 'Peabrain' and
the like hardly qualify. I will conclude that you began as a biology major,
then became an engineer of some sort. I've seen this sort of vague
'biosketch' before and that it was happened then. Of course, I expect a
snotty 'rebuttal' saying that I don't what I'm talking about and so on...
Then again, I am re-kill-filing the anonymous DNAunion after this. I wonder
if Steve Jones will try to 'shame' DNAunion into 'revealing' his true
identity, as he tried to do with me? Nahhh - they are fellow
anti-'Darwinists'....
========================
Does it really matter if I "flip hamburgers
at McDonalds" if I can present *mainstream* material that shows that
enantiomeric cross inhibition is a real issue for the purely-natural origin
of life on Earth?
===================
Wow. I'm sure the lurkers are impressed with your accumen. What
non-insulting material you have posted seems to be at most selective and
biased interpretation. However, since you tend to harp on the origin of life
and not evolution per se, I really have nothing to say to you.
===================
I don't expect people to necessarily accept my word for
something (which is one reason I typically quote a lot), as I don't accept
their own if it does not "jive" with what information I have been exposed
to.
It is the ability or inability to back up one's position that makes or
breaks the argument, not their identity. (Of course, there are also times
when inference, and not fact, enter the picture, in which case those on both
sides are free to come to their own conclusions). >>
=======================
I knew there was a reason I had blocked 'DNAunion'. How silly of me to have
forgotten.
Bye bye.
