Hi,
I am an uncommitted lurker who would love to be committed, but I lack
time and it is not always easy for me to express my thoughts in English.
I have a scientific background (more specifically in vegetal biology). I
had a culture shock when I moved to the US and discovered the
creationists. Got interested in their claims, discovered talk.origins;
as a christian I especially appreciated discovering Glen Morton's site
and I subscribed to this mailing list especially because of him, wishing
to find more civil and scientific debates than on TO. I don't really
pay attention to the difference of opinions which nuances I don't always
catch or personal comments which often are rethoric games, I am more
interested in the references the different members post.
So far no creationist argument has really conviced me. However, I found
very healthy to examine some of my scientific "beliefs" in some domain
and to go back to the primary litterature to refresh my memory and to be
able to examine the value of an argument. Since I got interested in this
issue I have learned a lot outside my field of speciality.
Regards
Emmanuelle
