My wife is listening right now to a video taking apart a Ken Ham video.
In that video, Answers in Genesis has a number of biologists who work for them claiming there is such a thing as āgenetic entropy.ā
This is the the thing about Science - itās about the data, not the person. Of course, because it involves people, itās easier for a prominent scientist to get a controversial new hypothesis accepted, but in the end it comes down to whether the data support the hypothesis.
The problem is, laymen donāt see it like that.If they donāt want to believe in something, than any silly asshole with āDr.ā in front of his name who says he doesnāt believe it is enough. Cripes, I knew a guy who worked in Immunology, and didnāt want to believe in AGW. He insisted that a political blogger he liked who had āa background in Scienceā knew better than all the Climate Scientists whether there are enough weather stations to determine whether atmospheric temps are warming.
The ābackground in Scienceā? A BS in Psychology.
