I don't recognise authority. S...Trish and JQ,<br /><br />I don't recognise authority. Something is right because it's right, not because someone stated it to be true.<br /><br />I didn't take any notice of 'Climategate' because I didn't take any notice of the CRU beforehand. The CRU didn't inform me of my acceptance of AGW so why should a possible scandal affect my acceptance?<br /><br />And the only way I'd personally know whether there's a scandal would be if I read all the emails, in context, instead of an edited selection published by unknown individuals with an unknown agenda.<br /><br />I don't have the time. I don't even have the time to read the emails I receive.<br /><br />Anyway. Jerry Coyne dislikes evolutionary psychology. He doesn't think it's science. He's written more than one thread criticising it. This one is one of his more sarcastic ones. To appreciate it, you would have needed to have read the other threads.<br /><br />Also, Egnor often writes threads on the more trivial research that manages to get published in the journals. Let's face it - not all published research is first rate. A lot of research gets published to act as 'filler' between the significant research.<br /><br />A lot of published research deserves to be ignored. Egnor referring to it is to discount science (and he has stated in the past that he regards engineering to be more of a science than many accepted fields of science).<br /><br />Egnor has a habit of writing on trivial papers as a means of casting doubt on the field. It's like comparing pulp science fiction to quality fiction so as to declare that all science fiction is to be deplored.<br /><br />Anyway. I didn't write that Egnor hates science. I just noted that he is attempting to discredit science.bachfiendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14752055891882312204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555199390227912207.post-44546032692060440222014-02-21T22:08:53.859-05:002014-02-21T22:08:53.859-05:00>>You know who hates science?

He also said that he would only read them >>in context<<. I'm still waiting on that. He's afraid of the truth.<br /><br />I used to think that Bachfiend was one of the more reasonable commenters on here, a gentleman who enjoyed a good conversation. I don't believe that any more.<br /><br />JQ Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555199390227912207.post-81285946995691648552014-02-21T21:38:38.406-05:002014-02-21T21:38:38.406-05:00It's only half kidding.

Yes, he says that it's speculation that goes on over beers, but he also says:<br /><br />"To get a better scientific handle on this idea, I took a poll, asking a woman friend, Dr. Fawzia Rasheed, to canvass her female acquaintances about their willingness to swallow after the act of fellatio."<br /><br />A SCIENTIFIC handle? <br /><br />"Natural selection maintains the repugnant taste of semen so that a man’s sperm will wind up in the appropriate place: the vagina and not the stomach. "<br /><br />Ah, well that's cute. It must have evolved that way. It kind of makes you think that semen has a place that nature wants it to be, and it isn't in mouths or buttholes. If I said that you'd freak. Hey, it's just science. <br /><br />Coyne's commentary is an evolutionary just-so story like so many others. <br /><br />Egnor isn't trying to discredit science. He might think that some people in the scientific community are loons with an agenda, like Jerry Coyne for example, but that's hardly the same thing as "hating science."<br /><br />You know who hates science? You do. You despise skepticism, ask us to take your pet theories on faith, and you don't give a fig if basic standards of academic honesty are upheld. You defend scientists who rape science. That makes you a co-conspirator. <br /><br />You don't fool me, phoney.<br /><br />TRISHAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555199390227912207.post-23356167977975503412014-02-21T16:40:34.049-05:002014-02-21T16:40:34.049-05:00Trish,

He doesn't like evolutionary psychology because it's untestable.<br /><br />Egnor is touting this as science in order to discredit science.<br /><br />Even if it was science (which I don't think it is either), it would be bad science - not all science is first rate. This paper would fall in the bottom 0.0001% of science papers.
