Re: A question for the group

I would suggest to you several things.

First, do a little study and come back to me tomorrow, and show me
that you know and understand how to prove Pythagoras' theorem to be
true. I would stress of course that you do this properly to me in
person and not merely in writing which you have nicked from
somewhere. Such basic projects in maths, geometry, trigonometry and
so on would continue for a while.

At the same time, I would also set a task in physics, asking you to
demonstrate a good knowledge on Newton's mechanics, and simple
calculus. I would want you to demonstrate that you are confident with
how to find a sky object using stellar coordinates. Such projects to
familiarise yourself with the physical world would continue but for
rather longer than did the maths ones.

On to chemistry where you would need to understand the atomic theory
behind the periodic table (which you would learn by heart) etc.

Provided that you worked hard it would take you about 5 years study to
reach the point where a grammar school boy aged 15 is preparing for
basic O levels (or A grade GCSE) in science.

You get the idea I am sure. Asking for a snappy answer is like asking
a skilled pianist to cut the crap and just show you quickly in the
next minute how to play concertos.

Perhaps you think this is being snooty. But I can assure you that I
am the real thing here; learning about science takes hard work and
perseverence and talent; and so does, say learning how to make
rousing sermons and convert people to your religion in sufficient
numbers to make it worth while.

Some things are hard to learn and take effort and time. Some things
are easier. If you want to learn to juggle, or do card tricks, or use
a word processor, you can learn to do those things in a couple of
hours. If you want to learn C and JavaScript, it will mean effort and
time. But creationism is merely giving in and refusing to learn
anything at all. If you are that way inclined, it is fine with me, as
long as I can give you a tip. Join in on the side of the men
receiving the financial contributions, don't be one of the mugs giving
money.
