→RSchlafly: that is not what I said at all
:: You described a distinction and said that it's invalid because only "scientists" support it, who can't be trusted because they're scientists. If you don't see something wrong in that sentence, then you may be a lost cause. Setting that aside, isn't it true that we should care about what scientists mean when they say "theory" if they're the ones drafting the theory in the first place? Shouldn't we NOT care what random-guy-on-the-street things that "scientific theory" means?-'''<font color="#007FFF">Ames</font><font color="#FF0000">G</font>'''<sub>[http://www.conservapedia.com/User_talk:AmesG yo!]</sub> 19:04, 28 March 2007 (EDT)

::: No, that is not what I said at all. I did not say that the distinction is invalid, and I didn't say that scientists can't be trusted. Yes, I do see something wrong with your sentence -- it is directly contrary to what I said! If you care so much about what those scientists are saying, then why did you delete the section?
