The real reason you don't make creationism vs evolution a consensus building exercise is that science isn't decided on a popular vote. -- nm - Reagen Nov 1, 12:16 5

    - OK, but don't forget to play chimey, sing-songy indie song when you do -- nm - con_carne Nov 1, 12:21
from b2 re: ceregon's guy. I disagree with your dudes' reasoning. I have met a number of creationists who were highly intelligent, and educated. - saint loosilu Nov 1, 11:57 24
- I don't really agree with them, but i can see where they are coming from. - ceregon Nov 1, 12:09 2
  - I think this attitude, more than the specific issue, would be pertinent. "I won't be convinced by evidence" isn't a good trait for an exec. -- nm - Reagen Nov 1, 12:26
  - hmmm. sounds as if the way he answered was pretty important. -- nm - saint loosilu Nov 1, 12:25
- Unpossible! Religious people are stupid! -- nm - Stephen Nov 1, 12:01
- I agree...and find it funny that it came up during a consensus building exercise -- nm - Beaker Nov 1, 12:00 17
  - I bet they picked that scenario just because it's something that gets a lot of peoples' hackles up, no matter what side of the debate they are on. - Roger More Nov 1, 12:04 16
    - Plus they are targeting the education market. -- nm - ceregon Nov 1, 12:06
    - Sure, sure, and they're next consensus building exercise should have dealt with abortion... -- nm - Stephen Nov 1, 12:04 14
      - You're right, They should have picked a consensus building exercise that didn't have any contention. - Roger More Nov 1, 12:13 6
        
        Or more accurately, pick one where there is an actual possibility of consensus... - Stephen Nov 1, 12:18 5
        
        Building a consensus is about getting people with opposing views to talk and agree on how they can work with one another and solve mutual problems. - Roger More Nov 1, 12:25 4
        
        And picking an scenario like this is a good test of whether someone is prepared to put their own personal feelings aside. If you're unable to do that - Roger More Nov 1, 12:28 3
        
        So, that would apply to the evolutionists too? - Stephen Nov 1, 12:33 2
        
        To the candidates, yes. And it's important to remember that everything we're going on is hearsay -- nm - Roger More Nov 1, 12:36 1
        
        So once you're hired consensus building isn't important? - Stephen Nov 1, 12:46
      - Where's the science merit in abortion? - Will Hunting Nov 1, 12:08 4
        
        This was for a start up and not the college where I work. - ceregon Nov 1, 12:15 2
        
        Oh, ok, I didn't miss that then...that makes it worse, imo. -- nm - Stephen Nov 1, 12:19
        
        Oh jeez....never mind. - Will Hunting Nov 1, 12:16
        
        The point at which life begins. - Stephen Nov 1, 12:15
      - that would be ill-advised, obviously. Evolution versus Creationism is the kind of divide that hurts few ... -- nm - Beryllium Nov 1, 12:06
      - they're = their, of course. -- nm - Stephen Nov 1, 12:05
- It's like Sherlock Holmes says - it doesn't matter if the earth is round or not. It doesn't matter if it orbits the sun or not. - Beryllium Nov 1, 12:00
- It totally depends on how he answered the question in interview, and we don't know that -- nm - Roger More Nov 1, 11:59
