LOL

Believe what you want. Others, who care to grapple with the true issues, can discuss them as adults.

I have studied post #87, to which you apparently took issuse. I do not see what you find objectionable about it. Are you suggesting that it is "elitism" to state that people who have actually studied a field are more qualified to draw conclusions within that field than people who have not? If not, then what is your objection to Gondring's statement?

No, closest I can come is the bumper sticker:

Think Dirty, Shower with an Archaeologist

For a group aspiring to god-like status, like scientists, this is bad news.

Ug. Talk about laying it on thick.

Science *always* has limits of investigation. It's easy to know "what scientists can't tell us." Science does not investigate the meaning of life, only the mechanisms. For purpose, one must look to faith, religion, and philosophy.
