kristopher,

WRONG again.

I have a doctorate from MIT, and I'm am employed as scientist at a national laboratory, I'm a member in good standing with a number of scientific societies....

In other words, I have ALL the credentials to be legitimately called a scientist.

I'm also am pursuing scientific truth, and as a scientist, I understand what is scientific truth. The problem is what YOU think is "scientific truth". The fact of the matter is that what you think is "scientific truth" is NOT. How many times have I tried to teach you the effects of the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics; but to no avail? You just won't accept it as a Law of Physics.

It's akin to someone graduating from medical school with an M.D., passing his medical boards and being licensed to practice medicine, being on staff at a nationally recognized hospital, being a member in good standing of the American Medical Association (AMA); and you disagree with calling him a "doctor" because you disagree with him on some political topic involving medicine.

Sorry, kristopher; where are your scientific credentials? If you have NONE; then who are you to say I'm not a scientist when numerous other scientists agree that I am a scientist?

If you had any refutation to my claims, you would give them. What you offer is not called a "refutation", it is called an "assertion".

The good thing about science is that it is true, whether or not you believe in it.
