we all could be having, if Mr Mims had simply not answered one of those particular questions.
As someone who doesn't believe in god, and believes evolution explains our current Earthly biosphere, you guys who are hammering Mims for his views on evolution are sounding like school kids mocking the kid who's different. You can't accept that someone that is so close to your accepted template of an educated scientist has this differing viewpoint. You guys are practically frothing at the mouth over this.
Good point! In having a discussion, one states their point of view and defends it while agreeing or disagreeing with someone. When the "discussion" is nothing more than attacking a person's character or beliefs, the discussion is over. If someone can't intelligently defend their belief system, they quickly resort to mud slinging and name calling.
For the record, I know Forrest and I also believe in intelligent design and have done research for NASA,/JPL, DoD, Air Force Office of Scientific Research, Natio
Thanks for the response Mike. That's how I look at my beliefs as well; can they be challenged intelligently and logically, and are they the same afterwards? I often find my beliefs being modified by these sorts of discussions. It seems some here can't afford to allow that possibility, even for others. Yet they proclaim science is their justification.

Again, thanks for the input. Have a nice day.
