I probably said they shouldn’t be in graduate science programs in real universities (still think that, btw).

We discussed this at great length in other threads, but the more intelligent (from a memorizing and applying memorized rules standpoint) fundies are going through all the motions, holding their noses and not making waves, so they can get a couple letters behind their name and lend credence to their fantastic tales of wise bearded cloud daddy figures.

Jeff Eyges has some interesting words on this, if I remember correctly. Without stirring up old arguments, I’ll just say that it’s a problem and it really needs to be solved!

How did someone like Titz who obviously so mentally challenged ever get a law degree or an MD, and what does this say about our secondary education? Unless she got them at Liberty University or one of those fine institutions of idiocy. By the way, that Methuselah thing? Biblical authors were notoriously bad at math…the number of generations leading up to Jesus that don’t jibe, Pi being equal to 3, and many more. That’s religious education for ya.

You have a good handle on the terminology, which is why I asked.

No, that would entail leaving the apartment.

I used to have an interest, when I was younger.

I’d be willing to go with Gaviidae, but weren’t we reserving that family for Michele Bachmann?

BTW, are you a birder too, Jeff?

How ’bout the Gaviidae?

Perhaps something in the genus Sula?

Heh!

I’m pretty fond of nuthatches. Perhaps something in the genus Sula?

I’m gonna have ‘A Field Guide to Nutjobs’ running through my head all day.

Perhaps Orly qualifies as a species of nuthatch!

“Roger Tory Peterson couldn’t keep track of ‘em all.” Now you’ve done it, Jeff! I’m gonna have ‘A Field Guide to Nutjobs’ running through my head all day.

Don’t knock ’til you’ve tried ‘em!
