EvC Forum: Short introduction to... well... to Me I guess.

Welcome!

Expect a lot of the following.

Just signed on and felt it would be the courteous thing to do to introduce myself to the good people here.

Good have new blood floating around. Inbreeding is becoming a problem here.

I signed on, not because I felt the need to make myself heard (I was actually very comfortable with just lurking around here), but rather because some glitch in the system (I can only assume something has been changed recently) made it impossible for me to view the forums without registering (whatever forum I'd chose I'd only get a prompt telling me to login... maybe I should report this to an admin?).

I never intended to join a forum like this. I was just too frustrated at people in my arachnid forum (mainly creationists) who tried to preach their doctrine against science. So, I did a google search and found this place. The very first post I posted as a member, I vented out a lot of hot air that had been building inside me. The first post I posted as a member is here.

Now that I am indeed signed up I find it more likely that I'll be doing some posting...

Good to hear.

I'm not a biologist nor do I do any work in any of the fields of science that touch upon evolution (I'm currently studying mainly plasma physics, and will hopefully get a chance to work on NASA's Vasimir project soon enough).

I too also hope to work for NASA one day. However, I'm still in my undergrad years, so I still have a long way to go.

My interest in the subject (Evolution Vs. Creation) stemmed from a university course I was taking, called "Good & Bad Science" during which the topic of Creationism was brought up. I was directed to TalkOrigins.org and later I found myself lurking the forums here, reading, but never responding.

I agree with Sylas. You should start a new thread talkinga about the class you took on good versus bad science.

Basically, living in a country where Creationism doesn't have a very strong foothold in the population, and where there is no "controversy" about whether or not it should be tought in science class or not I found the topic interesting, and kind of got "hooked" I guess.

As much as I hate to say this, the United States is one of the most backward western nation in the world as far as religion versus science goes. In fact, recent survey that I heard of suggests that 80% of the population here don't believe in evolution.

Well, that's me. Hopefully I will be able to contribute ever so slightly to the forums (although I might stay relatively quiet) without causing too big of a mess.

I can assure you. What every mess you create in the future, mine will always be bigger.
