Introducing John Hoey Ph. D.

Today I was following my usual practice of checking out the latest science news, and one of the links provided to me by the excellent Google aggregator was to this article:

http://blog.sciam.com/index.php?title=we_are_african_apes_cousins_of_monkeys_d&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1

Interesting article indeed, and it's followed up by the mentioned review of the Behe book mentioned.

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/01/books/review/Dawkins-t.html?pagewanted=1&ei=5090&en=a8d3b05b1f9ae784&ex=1340942400&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss

While both of these are interesting to read by themselves, the most interesting part by far of that first page is the commentary provided by John Hoey PhD (I think Hoey is his middle name, Ph.D is his surname - there's no way this guy could hold a PhD) Hoey intends to enlighten us to the alleged wrongs of Evolutionary Theory. His ranting and raving is hilarious - check it out to see just how spastic some people can be.

I also love his insistence on signing every post with "John Hoey PhD" since he was unable to include the "PhD" in his username. Gotta make sure everyone knows you have that PhD in Creative Arts, John!

The Ph.D. is in Molecular/Cellular Biology. I do believe that qualifies me to pontificate on these matters with some authority. A word to the wise, "nick".....do some fact checking before blindly and foolishly spouting off.

By the way, "nick"....let's trade email addresses so we can discuss these differences in the way we view the universe offline. Are you a scientist? I'd be interested I learning more about the methods you used to derive your conclusions.

Still no response from "nick" to my retort. As I requested six months ago, let's share email addresses so we can have a meaningful dialog offline. I'd love to challenge you and pick your brain on evolution vs creationism.
