Did you intentionally post that Beatles song, knowing I cannot stand the Beatles?

I found out that I started to develop some doubts about evolution but like I said before I leave this door open for possibly coming back to theistic evolution in the future , that is when I see that others are allowed to seriously critique it on university campuses at the academic level without any pressure from high up .

I can "stomach" The Grateful Dead. Although, I would change the station if a Grateful Dead song came on.

Wagner? Disco? African drums?

Is that the Norm, though? And maybe it depends on How evolution is critiqued -- the attitude of the person. The approach taken.

Just measuring results by wealth sounds a lot like pretentiousness rearing its ugly head.

Of course it can be taken that way. Would you introduce some other tangible parameters?

Well, yeah..if a person starts in thumpin' the bible like its a scene for a chick tract, that is not going to get much traction.

Critique with some actual data, you will get a lot of skepticism, sure. Claim time travel or
a cold fusion reactor, same.

Problem so far for all three- data contrary to ToE, time travel, or cold fusion: no data. Nobody has done it.

So how is the critique going to proceed?

I have no idea How the critique is going to proceed. It depends on Who you are talking to and about what aspect Of is being discussed and etc, etc,. I'm simply saying --- the attitude of the person would probably determine the rest of it.
