  You got things worth reading in my original comment. Stop bullshitting.

    Lol. You keep replying dozens of times to people. You don’t have meaningfull contributions to the field. You think that blogs for some random Chicago emertis are reasonable sources. You constantly post opinions without a single definition to prove your point…

    I think you are a sad child. Stop putting my science in your mouth.

      Lol. You keep ignoring the papers I link you, then disparaging a well-respected biologist in the field by calling him a rando. If you don’t even know who Jerry Coyne is, you have no business bullshitting about the field of biology. He’s not the end-all-be-all but you’ve just displayed an amazing lack of knowledge about the field in general.

      I’ll spell it out for you, since I fear you might have a learning disability: I’ve linked peer-reviewed papers. Read them and learn. I also cited Jerry Coyne writing on his blog about his field of expertise, as an example of an expert opinion on this matter. That’s a reasonable source for that purpose. I also cited a project led by a PhD developmental biology, collecting signatures from other scientists with relevant credentials. That it was published on wordpress is immaterial.

      If your PhD is even real, you’re a perfect example of why they’re a mark of perseverance, not intelligence. I suggest you persevere at something more productive than wallowing in ignorance.

        Truth is, you’ve already outed yourself. I eat lunch with a group of mixed biologists and I came into the conversation already knowing that reality (as is always the case) is much more complicated than you would say. I’ve heard this same conversation before by people who actually do research in the area. Not like mine–my research is rather trite compared to some of these dudes. They essentially publish in nature and the equivalent in their respective areas.

        So, no, you are just a troll. To summarize:

        • You lack the credentials to make the assertions that you have.
        • You don’t seem to understand the hierarchy of trust that comes with certain positions.
        • You don’t seem to have any idea what sources are actually valid/quotable, nor the importance of peer review.
        • No, wordpress and other blogs still aren’t peer reviewed, so they are as much trash as a random ass reddit post. You can rage boner all you want about the qualifications of the person behind the keyboard, but words that are not peer reviewed are always just words.
        • You dismiss anyone else’s claims as immaterial because you seem to prefer a simple, comfortable world to reality.

        If your PhD is even real, you’re a perfect example of why they’re a mark of perseverance, not intelligence.

        I would agree 100%, but the difference is (once again) that as a holder of a PhD (albeit in a completely different area), I have the experience and authority to make that sort of claim. You are just some loser behind a keyboard.

        But you go on and have a nice day. This was a laugh for a while but now it’s just boring watching some dude pissing in the wind.
