No, he is using his specialized knowledge about certain issues to show certain claims, religious or not, are incorrect. This is what people should be doing if they know or believe certain claims are not correct. His advantage over you is he knows the subject, and backs up what he thinks is accurate. This is why no one takes you seriously.
CFR. I have never seen Simon suggest Crandell cannot offer his opinions. He only says, and shows why, that he thinks he is incorrectly advocating certain positions the science does not support. Since he has communicated this to him, he can at any time show how he thinks is is correct.
You on the other hand just attack him without even a hint you know anything about the subject. This is why your participation is at the level of trolling, and Simon knows enough not to engage this kind of biased ignorance.

Welcome to ignore Brackite. If you are just going to engage in childish cheerleading, I have no use for you.

There is absolutely no justification for the idea that religious truth claims should be held to any less rigorous standards of critical scrutiny and evidence than scientific claims.

I was going to respond but I feel others have done an excellent job of demonstrating that your position does not hold up to scrutiny. I think you need to give it up now.

So, if you wish to make a serious point, I'll be happy to respond. Otherwise, you are welcome to quit the field at any time.
