"Only new twist to this one is that it's an actual professor in the Texas State University system, which doesn't really reflect well on Texas."

Don't bring a knife to a gunfight.

Don't bring a math professor to a thermodynamics debate.

Well said. My Thermo teacher started out as a classic physics guy and moved over - he explained the subject better than anyone I have ever heard do it. Too bad he is dead now he would love to take a shot at this guy.

I believe that most people have a hard time understanding the time line. They get hung up on 7 days or 7 billion years. The sun has been around long enough to deposit an unbelievable amount of energy on Earth (1 Kw/square meter average. Think about that in terms of 1000's of years.

By this guys logic should we be running out of stuff to make new people with? But the population on earth continues to grow?

That's interesting. Where would thermodynamics be without math professors?

When, in your opinion, and ordinary schlub comments on an issue in the CREVO debate ... you tell him he knows nothing about real science.

Now, when a mathematician (who probably already has learned and forgotten more that the sum of knowledge that you will acquire in your entire lifetime) lays out the underlying equations for critical aspects of the debate ... you tell him he cant interpret the equations.

Go back to sleep ...
