    Sounds like you and your Cambridge sisters probably didnt listen too closely or.... maybe you are just another contrarian attention whore making silly claims.
    Either way, it doesnt sound like you are actually open to ideas the herd doesnt approve of.
    Good luck in your future career. I WILL take fries with that.

    I also respect Nye, but he definitley has a lack of education here if he is argueing against creation. Thats O.K., most people, ESPECIALLY Christians do.
    Scientists generally specialize and dont cross many scholarly lines.
    Dr. Gerald Schroeder is a scientist with over thirty years of experience in research and teaching. He earned his Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctorate degrees all at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, with his doctorate thesis being under the supervision of physics professor Robley D. Evans. This was followed by five years on the staff of the MIT physics department prior to moving to Israel, where he joined the Weizmann Institute of Science and then the Volcani Research Institute, while also having a laboratory at The Hebrew University. His Doctorate is in two fields: Earth sciences and physics.
    This should catch everyone up to speed on this silly debate. I rather love Bill and his methods of teaching and I know he does it for the kids but, he should get together with Gerald and get some understanding before blowing his mouth off. (like so many)

    Well, yes, of course. we have a minimal requirement of intelligence and judgement, or we would never be able to cross the street with any certainty of safety. We have to be able to tell if food is spoiled. Simple things that allow us to maneuver our environment. When we begin increasing the intelligence factor, we also increase the creative and analytical factors. This allows us to make judgements based on philosophy and personal preference. An apparent lack of peers fosters a situation where a superior mind can feel free to act independently. In order to create a more ideal situation, we would need a majority of superior minds to peer and wind up with a problem like herding cats, unless those in charge are also required to meet higher benchmarks.
    Sooooo, in the end, rather than raise the standards for a standard issue policeman, due to the price it would command. We fill the squadcars with the most abundant livestock available. The common shmoe. Oh we still screen them for honesty and purity over and above the MMPI. Have you ever had a confrontation where you felt vindicated in destroying your foes property? , can net you tales of slashed tires or keyed paintjobs, revenge sex and even theft. Naturally that is the end of the line for the candidate. But sometimes a smart one slips throught, gets his stride and makes the news.

    I just spotted your post, beneath a reply I was leaving and couldnt help but notice the irony.
    My uncle did testing for police dept.s over several states.
    If you crossed a minimal threshold for intelligence, you were excluded from hiring. No SHIT!
    If you are smart, they dont want you. Smart people tend to think for themselves and make judgement calls.
    Police have no desire to hire individuals with these qualities.
    This has been going on for decades.
    Further, deviations in the MMPI battery of tests, were ignored and merely kept on file in our county. We hire the unstable as well, here, as evidenced this year by 3 cases of jailers raping inmates (all male). A fourth case in a nearby county , as well. A rash (more than 5) of drownings of people running from cops over a 3 month period in separate cases. A conviction of a training officer from the local cop school, for murdering his wife, with the kids in the house, then burning the house to cover it up. And of course the usual stories of police corruption found everywhere.

    I can verify that. I worked with a slow-headed veteran, pre 9/11, who quit and hired on to the TSA.
    A simple soul with a good heart and work ethic. He became so disgusted with the TSA , he quit after 2 months.
    He was tired of seeing old ladies hassled and normal people reduced to tears, while obvious Muslims waltzed through, unscathed.
    Even he could see the total crap that made up the widespread philosophy of Hillarys Political Correctness promoted by the Repubmocrat regeim at the time.
