For each Einstein there are a million cranks. Your opinion is, because one in a million does know what he's on about, we have to believe everyone?
No, that's not the point, the point is that "credentials" are not the be all and end all as was implied above. Who are these people, what have they published, etc. etc. There are plenty of published scientists that are nothing more than parasites making their reputation off the backs of their grad students and collegues. Yes, I put credence in credentials, but not to the point where I would out of hand discount an idea just because it wasn't put forth by someone with alphabet soup after their name.

Big Dog - 'totally yammering' - have I touched a nerve? Not at all, I just get a kick out of listening to people pontificate. I have plenty of clients that are doctors who love to expound on the science of medicine, until the latest discovery comes along and they have to reverse themselves. Oh, yes, ahem, er, we used to believe that but now we KNOW it to be thus. I just find it humorous at how little we really know about anything. I was in a surgeon's office the other day and I picked up some materials left by a drug rep, way down at the end in the fine print it said that the drug company wasn't sure exactly how the drug did what it did and so on. I find the science fantatics as funny as the religious fanatics because really by the geological clock we have barely swung down from the trees and we really know next to nothing about how the universe works.

I thought I had read that some of the circles had elements that were hard to reconcile as was pointed out. I could see some natural phenomena that could cause something like that to happen, I thought the snowflake example was a good one. When people start totally yammering about who is this person and what are their credentials I always think of the famous quote that goes "What does a patent clerk in Switzerland know about the physics of light?"

ok, so we've talked before about music which was not permitted in our families, leaving us to listen to .... what?
most people in my congregation generally approved of olivia newton-john, but became suspicious of her work after grease, when she bacame a "bad" girl.
one song "landslide" contained the lines "minor desires became major needs, my needs won't be denied", which was taken as proof that she had gone over to the "dark side".
i've been thinking a lot about this lately and i would unhesitatingly say 'yes!'.
we've had our ups and downs - almost always my fault .
my god, how our upbringing can affect us!
we actually spoke our mind to anyone and everyone about what we really think.......what would happen?.
would you lose your family, friends, job etc ??.
