Why don't creationists publish?

[Stripe]

You guys who believe in evolution are always saying: "Why don't you Christians publish in science journals?" If a science journal is dumb enough to publish something that says everything came from nothing for no reason, I'm not too impressed. I'm not sure I want to be associated with that kind of stupidity. You have to go to college for years to be that dumb.

Moses published and that is sufficient.

Perhaps. But there's nothing wrong with publishing more. Right?

If that's the "calibre" of the argument then it's no wonder there's little to none in the way of articles submitted for peer review that have been given any credence? You do realize that peer review isn't just a bunch of atheists hanging around a lab ready to dismiss anything that doesn't fit with their preconceptions? That it's a very stringent process that's ongoing etc?

Ya know, just making sure...

Go away, Brain, you senseless twerp. You know nothing about science or the scientific method.

It's pretty simple Arthur. Journals are private enterprises that cater to a specific audience. An atheist should not expect to get published in peer reviewed Christian journals... Nor does a Christian expect to get published in secular journals if they attack the the ruling paradigm / belief system of the subscribers.

Peer review is not a necessary part of the scientific process.

They are a key part of the scientific process. One of the key principles of the scientific process is repeatability. If you publish something that others cannot reproduce/independently verify then you have a problem.

There is no reason that a "creation scientist" would not be published in a mainstream scientific journal if their work rises to the level required for publication.

Cabinethead thinks peer review is necessary for an experiment to be repeatable. lain:

Nope. Peer review is not a necessary part of the scientific approach. Experiments can be repeated on ideas that have not gone through peer review.

It's bizarre that you would suggest otherwise.

And they are.

Yay, Cabinethead is here to contribute absolutely nothing again.

Well there is a complete lie from Stripe. What I said was, "One of the key principles of the scientific process is repeatability. " Note that I said nothing anywhere near to what Stripe is saying.

Sure they can. But when you publish in a peer reviewed journal, it initiates a much more formal process. Your peers look at your work and will scrutinize it. If they find an error or an inconstancy or have a question, they will send a formal response that to you and you have to address those comments and republish. The peer review keeps everybody honest.

It's bizarre that you would suggest otherwise.

What's bizarre is you commenting on a process that you obviously know nothing about.

And they are.

Good for them! HAve any links to support this assertion?

they have become a key part of the scientific process, relatively recently in terms of scientific exploration

One of the key principles of the scientific process is repeatability.

that doesn't require publication in a peer reviewed journal

gonna stop you right there


modern publication in a peer-reviewed journal does not serve science

it serves academia

Oh, so you were just quoting me and disagreeing for the thrills. lain:

I suspect that there is a reason for that. Don't you?

No, it doesn't. But when you do publish, others will likely repeat your experiment and see if they get the same results.

As most of the pure research science is done in the academic realm, it serves both science and academia. I don't see you think this is some sort of problem. People have gone after Einstiens's work for years. Many have set out to disprove what he proposed and have instead ended up verifying that he was right. Academic rivalry actually helps the scientific process.

of course - the explosive growth in academia

As most of the pure research science is done in the academic realm, it serves both science and academia.

ideally, yes

and this is still largely true in the disciplines of pure science, to a lesser degree in the disciplines of applied science and not at all in the fields of social "science"

You have no idea what you're talking about.

Peer review has nothing to do with repeatability.

it's a game that you have to play in certain areas of academia - those who learn to play it well tend to get promoted

Stop. Before you make yourself look any more foolish, just stop.
