Creation Scientist…is’nt that an oxymoron?

Yes, yes it is. That’s why I almost always use scare quotes when I refer to “creation science” or “creation scientists”.

Seriously, there is no such thing as a creation scientist, just someone dressing up in a lab coat and playing make believe…best you can hope for is determined trolls for jeebus.

Somehow, I dont think that is the kind of engaging conversation you might be looking for…

Apologies for lack of clarity on my part, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyracotherium#Discovery is fixed. Slight problem with the doi number not working so had to cobble together a citation for Owen’s 1841 paper. Have cited your earlier ToA post as it’s recognised on Wikipedia as a reliable source, with an additional link to your informative blog post of 25 May 2008.

Skipped the bit about the 1838 jaw fragment as a bit offtopic, and left the wording “In 1876 in America Othniel C. Marsh found a full skeleton, which he placed in another new genus Eohippus, from the Greek ηώς (eōs, “dawn”) and ιππος (hippos, “horse”), meaning “dawn horse”.” Not sure if that’s right, and based a point about “Its obvious similarities with the fossils described by Owen were formally confirmed in a 1932 paper by Sir Clive Forster Cooper.” on your ToA piece. From your later blog post it looks a bit more complex.

So, some emergency repairs have been made, and more clarification would be welcome. Particularly of the Eohippus paragraph. Hope the work and resuscitation of computer goes well.
