Re: "near-dead" 14er hiker recovers
If you have a graduate degree in science education, then you should know better than to float intelligent design as a viable alternative to evolution. I in no way called you stupid; I called your question stupid. Again, if you possess these credentials, you should be able to discern the difference between an attack on a position and an attack on a person. I also noticed that you failed to address my main criticism, which is that this thread is not the appropriate venue for a debate on evolution. If you post something controversial on a thread concerning a touchy subject, don't be surprised if you receive some pushback.nunns wrote: ↑Thu Nov 19, 2020 12:03 pmI am glad that I don't fit your criteria, since I have a degree in biology, a master's degree in science education, and have read literally thousands of pages of information on both sides of the evolution/intelligent design debate.
I will say that one of the ways that people attempt to silence naysayers is by calling them "stupid".

Re: "near-dead" 14er hiker recovers
Now you are using the argument that if I don't agree with the standard theory, then I couldn't possibly have the degree that I say I have. That is essentially an attack on my person: either I agree with you, or I am lying about my "credentials".hellmanm wrote: ↑Thu Nov 19, 2020 12:32 pmIf you have a graduate degree in science education, then you should know better than to float intelligent design as a viable alternative to evolution.

But you are right; this is not the place for a debate about evolution.

Re: "near-dead" 14er hiker recovers
You are right; thank you for helping me clarify my thinking. A more accurate statement would be that there are plenty of people in the scientific community that would tell you that they only believe in things that science can measure or somehow observe. Which is different and a reasonable position, although I disagree with it.

Re: "near-dead" 14er hiker recovers
I have observed Sean Nunn's posts for probably over five years. He is one of the most humble, gentle posters around. I remember having some correspondence a few years back and despite just a brief back and forth conversation invited me to climb with his group. He regularly brings out young people to share in the experience.
From all appearances a really good guy.
I am on this board way too much but try to keep my posts to a minimum. However I felt compelled to comment.

Re: "near-dead" 14er hiker recovers
Appearances aren’t everything.
But seriously, Sean from Raytown, MO, is ok by me, even if he’s often confused.
We’re living in the Land of Confusion anyway, so likely it’s irrelevant that he is.

Re: "near-dead" 14er hiker recovers
Awww, I feel special. You're probably just saying that because you passed me up in total posts a little while ago.
Just for clarification, I am not a fragile snowflake. Nothing anyone posts on here about me or my beliefs bothers me. And I don't regularly share my "religious" beliefs on here (OK, my tag line is an exception) because this is a climbing/hiking forum. There are lots of people on here whose beliefs on certain things I disagree with, but whom I still respect (Pilgrim and Dave B come to mind immediately). But there are some things I just can't let go without a comment.
Hope that you all have a great Thanksgiving. If you are blessed enough to be able to climb something next week, count yourself lucky. There isn't much in my part of Missouri to climb besides a few small hills and some stadium steps. Pilgrim at least has the Arch to climb.....

Re: "near-dead" 14er hiker recovers
Imagine being on the verge of death for hours and no one even cares because they can only argue the same argument that’s been going on for millennia
Re: "near-dead" 14er hiker recovers
Been away from the forum for a few days.
Was amazed to see there are over 90 posts about ECMO.
I had no idea so many held such passion for ECMO!
