Dagny.....I'll cheer my not being bold as a hair style.

ABO....Would this indicate you have no hair, or is it just more of your self righteous indignation?



ABO,

"My not being bold" means just that - I am not bold. It doesn't mean "I have no hair". You defy Objective Reality.

Gary, I don't have a religious agenda, and I doubt if Oh Henry does either. Now, it you were to submit your work to a bona fide, peer-reviewed, major science journal (or even a minor journal provided it's peer-reviewed), and it became accepted and published, I guarantee that you will gain a whole new level of attention and scientific respect, here and elsewhere. Do you think you could make that happen? Or will we instead be treated with another stream of excuses and cries of persecution?

I'm doing fine taking down the brats who like to protest against anything that does not serve Atheism (or similar wrapped in science religion) by keeping my work in scientific/programming communities that most matter. Here's one of the more recent (there are others I cannot yet disclose):

posting.php?mode=edit&f=1&p=21595

Publishing in an average journal is a good way to waste a lot of time then fade away into obscurity. The steady stream of quality hits I get at Planet Source Code are well beyond what I have seen for online papers in a typical science journal.

Major journals have a policy to not take seriously new theory that hints of ID anyway, which can make it another good way to waste a few months/years, and with the prices some of them charge they don't want to see me in the first place because I don't have a couple of thousand dollars to give them.

I'm currently doing all I can to get this done right, to spite all those who have nothing better to do than criticize and condemn.

Gary, its interesting you find my post "defamatory" since I basically compiled your responses from multiple threads into one post.

What is my religious agenda?

I'm curious... are you trying to say that science itself is a religion, or that specific scientific principles are a religion? What's your definition of religion?

Publishing in an average journal is good way to get your ideas into the canon of scientific literature. My Master's advisor once told me he likes to publish some of his crazier ideas in minor journals, so that way his ideas are at least out there.

How do you know? What is a "quality hit?" Your planet source code page has 5 ratings - three 1's and two 5's. It has four comments - three positive and one negative. Which are quality and which are not? How do you know what feedback the authors in "typical science journals" are getting?

If I were a biology student looking for an explanation to some genetics problem I had in front of me... whose work do you think I'm going to 1. find in a database such as Web of Science, and 2. cite in research paper or thesis? Gary S. Gaulin, Journal of X? Or Gary S. Gaulin, lone internet weirdo?

Henry,

You'd think that homeopathy and astrology would be well represented in scientific literature, including minor science journals? Somehow, there is no avalanche of these, neither is flood of scientific research on Scriptures - e.g. "God caused Sun stand by suspending laws of gravity and we have demonstrated how it's done", or "Surface Tension of salt water allows humans walk on it", or something along these lines.
