"but the evidence I see so far boldy states that something is up on the side of conspiracy, as to the tampering of evidence of fossils..."
--Not really, you have shown that you show little knowledge of the fossil record in your assertions. And seeing that you have accepted Hovinds sophistry, I don't think its going to be all too good for you to continue to parrot his misrepresentations and misunderstandings. His credibility is simply not in good standing with any of our initiatives here. ------------------ [This message has been edited by TrueCreation, 11-02-2002]

quote: Indeed Ken Ham (head of answers in Genesis) made $170,634 in 2001, plus a contribution towards his benefits of $13,296! (10-26-2002 the kentucky post http://www.kypost.com/2002/10/26/genes102602.html). compare this to Eugenie Scott who runs the National Center for Science Education. She makes $70,000 plus $6958 in benefits, if you are only after money creationism not science is the way to go.

[/B] My point was that you were devaluing the value of observation, an essential tenet of science. For most of history the observation that the sun apparently revolved around the Earth was a solid foundation for "scientific" geocentrism, as it was at the time. *Later* observations, and a lot of math, eventually demonstrated that the obvious solution was not the correct one. But I don't think you should knock geocentrism because it was sound science a long time ago.

[QUOTE][B]Granted that most scientists are not in it for the money, but rather the passion of it or what ever it is that drives us to do it.. but that still does not negate the fact that time equals money in our society... which to me does not mean we are slaves to money or even serve it.. but the evidence I see so far boldy states that something is up on the side of conspiracy, as to the tampering of evidence of fossils...[/QUOTE]
[/B] Science isn't about lots of money, it's about middle-class income, at best. If I wanted to get wealthy there are lots of business-related fields I could go into and spend less time in college than with a science track.

[QUOTE][B]would you tell me that all those textbooks going into schools is not a multi billion dollar industry.....[/QUOTE]
[/B] Yes. And scientists, for the most part, aren't even the ones writing those textbooks! At least not until university level, and then the printer gets most of the money. I'm sure there are royalties but an evolutionary textbook is no more profitable than an accounting textbooks or the infamous, Of People and Pandas.

As a matter of fact, I personally view that creationism is much more marketable than evolution. Just look at the Harun Yahya movement, selling books and videos to unsuspecting Muslims around the world.
Damn it, why do I end up an evolutionist anyway? Should've been a creationist--I might be richer than today!

Observation alone is not proof. There is much more to the process. It's like those who only use logic and word games as their sole evidence. Long after science learned the truth religion stuck to the old inaccurate belief and enforced it. But I don't think you should knock geocentrism because it was sound science a long time ago. Science learns from its errors, religion doesn't. [This message has been edited by nos482, 11-03-2002]

[/B] So if God appeared in your living room you would still be a nontheist? Also, observation is required in science. Without it, there would be no science. Therefore an attack on observation is necessarily an attack on science.

Contrary to what you're saying, I didn't do any such thing.
