Science, Creation & EvolutionAge of the EarthOn my way out again - more thorough later...

they were studying and doing work under the biblical understanding of the world. therefore, evolution need not be understood in order to do good work. in fact, many times, it hinders it and has baneful consequences on society.
And that is a total non sequitur. Utterly irrelevant to what I had asked.
If I recall correctly, Maxwell, for example, did work on electricity and magnetism and such. So maybe you can tell me how his work related to or relied upon Scripture.
sure. electricity and magnetism are constants in this world and would naturally have a sustaining, constant principle behind them:
Romans 1:20
For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.
if there were no belief in uniformity of natural laws and physical principles, and everything was just arbitrary and capricious, then there would be no reason for research to be made in the areas in which Maxwell was working. there would be no assurance of sustaining principles and theories would therefore never be able to be put into practice.
Um... If that is the morst relevant science-related passage you can find, don't bother trying to impress me anymore.
OK, gee, I guess those 5 years I spent in graduate school testing hypotheses and generating data and performing experiments and analyses was just a big waste – why, I should have contacted some anonymous internet creationist for the TRUTH!
Not once did I start with a conclusion then cherry-pick data to prop up my conclusion (which is what creation scientists do), I’m sorry, “absolutetruth”, it is your understanding of science that is quite naïve.
yeah. unfortunately, most of the professors of today are lost with evolutionary thinking and false ideas as well, and they pass them onto their students. you're a victim.
You're un undereducated propgandist. For your information, I did not once take a class on or even containing evolution until I was already studying it in graduate school. I attended undergraduate university in a very conservative area of Michigan where the subject was not even discussed in general biology class - it was only offered to biology majors (of which I was not).
The standard creationist nonsense about 'evolution crammed down the throats' of students is just nonsense.
Actually, it does. You seem to be operating under the naïve definition of evolution.
so now since this new "information" is strictly accidental and can't be influenced by surrounding environments,
Where did I say that? Please stop making things up for your strawman arguments. then this view of evolution is the silliest most impossible thing in the world.
Gee - an unsupported assertion from this guy?
