There's a difference between me playing dumb and you acting superior. Sure, I dropped off before addressing every single argument y'all made, but throughout your arguments is a general assumption that somehow me and my school are incapable of even conceiving of what you do. Yes, I quote other academics when I argue (of course, and so I should, they're smarter than me), but those academics have spent tons of time working directly with, within, and alongside the scientific fields they critique.

Like it or not, my arguments don't come from a group of people who are actively ignorant.

I don't think anything about my arguments indicated that I think you are incapable of understanding science, rather I actively tried to explain it to you. There is a difference between not understanding something and being unable to understand something, and I assumed throughout that you were in the first category. And while I'm sure that some of the people you are citing have done useful work, it's clear from the points you took away from them that you are misunderstanding them, because the arguments you derived from them were mostly nonsense. And of course a few of them were simply wrong as well, or at best woefully out of date.

In other words, stop taking everything as a personal attack and actually try to understand the content and then we will be able to get somewhere. I put a lot of thought and effort into my response to you, and if you read it as patronizing then it's in your head.

Peace, Shadow, and I for that matter, made every effort to get you to understand what scientists actually do and what science is actually about. I never assumed you were incapable of understanding it, rather your statements revealed quite clearly that you didn't understand it and I was trying to correct that.

Krowdon.....I am so sorry.

It's okay. I think it is kind of funny and I didn't bother to read much of it.
