Perhaps I am not cut out for this type of interaction. A little to brusque, a little to rough around the edges? I have given some thought this morning as to why my perspective is slighted. Perhaps it is not my evaluation of wolves at all but rather my callousness towards the scientific community....the "experts" as it were. Maybe therein is the crux as to why I am full of fecal matter?

Yes tis true I am not completely convinced when I hear claims that 90% of scientists believe this, that or the other thing. I am of a continual skeptical mind having lived long enough to know better ("you can keep your doctor" etc. etc).

I will provide a perspective of a man who by all appearances seems beyond reproach. Do yourself a favor and read what he has to say......it is very illuminating. His name is Jim Tour of Rice University and he is considered one of the top ten chemists in the world with numerous patents and abundant articles published. I think he presents a very fair account of creation vs evolution.........but what is telling is that he has personally witnessed colleagues punished for stating they have doubts about macro-evolution. What I find even more reprehensible and alarming is that he tells his students if they want to advance in their careers not to voice opposition publicly to evolution. Is this what we want? Intolerance and no diversity of thought?

So how does this intolerance manifest itself in the scientific community? How about that you don't get your work published by the "powers that be" or you don't get grant money. Not buying into the "cause"? So much for your career.

When I woke today I had wanted to talk about where you guys ice fish for lakers. Are they shallow on top of some reef? The QJ member I trout fished with earlier this fall played me some video he had of an October 2014 trip where he and a friend caught 30 lakers in a row. That was impressive! Unfortunately the trip ended abruptly the following day when a nasty cold front blew in and left them windbound for several days straight.....such is fall tripping I suppose.
