Lets discuss the Salem hypothesis.

http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Salem_hypothesis

engineers confirmed for butthurt creationists in disguise.

>> No.1733714

I can't believe that shit is on any wiki anywhere, but I have to admit I had come to that conclusion some time ago. Lists of professionals dumped by the pro-creationist crowd does seem to have excess engineers.

>The Salem Hypothesis is the observation of the apparent correlation between the engineering trade and creationist beliefs (possibly due to crank magnetism, this can also include climate change denial and other crackpot beliefs).

sounds ok?

>> No.1733766

some "engineers" are just not properly educated in terms of science.
and they think they are more clever than science people in general, thus their ignorant attitude.

how can you be both a fundie and a homo?

Wouldn't be terribly surprising given that liberals are more likely to study things for their own sake and conservatives tend to want to get money out of their degree.

The theory is that creationists that claim scientific knowledge tend to be engineers, NOT that engineers tend to be crazy creationists. All the scientifically educated Christians in the world could be engineers and still make up a small portion of engineers as Christians are allergic to books. On the other hand it's well known that all engineers love sweaty man on man sex.

shut up engineer creationist faggot, your opinions are not welcome here.Only science is welcome here

>> No.1733814

Yes, I side with the first interpretation- that if a creationist claims to have a science degree they are either lying or the degree is an engineering degree.

>> No.1733827

Ah, counter-evidence.

Dr. Kent Hovind claims to have a science PhD from a respectable university. Actually it's a PhD in Christain Education from a degree mill.

Does this disprove the hypothesis?

>> No.1733838

>>1733827
No because he doesn't have a science degree at all. The hypothesis refers only to creationists that do have a real degree.
