That made absolutely no sense do you know that? I doubt you'd find him diddling away at all, considering the only mention of a Dr. Richard Berry I can find comes from a commencement folder in 1973, in which he was the chairman of the department. Searching the faculty list and the school site itself, I come across no mentions of him. So he likely retired decades ago. I get the feeling you just grabbed some obscure name online assuming I would not take the time to look it up.

Agreed, aw! But... but... we're endlessly assured that it's such a cute story, and that it fills in all those unbelievable (but wholly illiterate...) concepts brought by us damned atheists, with our (claimed-to-be...) ugly, unhappy and savage lives of pure desperation and despair! Oh whoa is us, huh?

Versus what the Christians of The Glorious Word of Our God! celebrate! PTL! Glory to God in the Highest!

Yada yada yada.

And so beware, all our precious children of The Silly Sunday School Curricula..), to NOT have an ultimate handy-savior at your beck and call. Even if that story always fails with such EPIC CLARITY & NONSENSE...!

I think that was an attempt to claim that because Scientist Richie wouldn't diddle on internet forums, no scientist would diddle on internet forums. Thus no one on this thread could be a scientist.

It tells us something about Scientist Richie. Nothing else.

And if you think about, the an early internet use was usenet, the precursor to email and all these forums, created and used by scientists in academia, and spread across the scientific community for communicating sharing ideas.

He has retired, he is close to 90....He also worked for NASA and the CIA...He is my grandmother's first cousin and attended her funeral, that's how obscure he is...My point was all these pseudo-scientists on here claiming vast amounts of knowledge that is not from their own empirical research but offer up someone else's work as proof...I see this in the sciences and the religions...I am not someone who believes that if one writes a paper and that one is a religious scholar or a scientist that one must be imparting accurate information...

That's pretty funny since you do the same yourself . How do you know anyones background in here? I'm pretty sure many people in here actually have scientific backgrounds, and are more qualified than you to speak on these subjects. And in academia, you constantly reference other peoples work. No ones research is ever based on just their own thought. It's always built upon other things.

Richard if I got a certificate from the my book on forest ecology, I would still be more qualified than you are .
