Icky, if you would kindly remove your head from your nethers you might note that Avalos shadowed Gonzalez during his speaking engagements, which evinces his fixation with Dr. Gonzalez. -------------- Caeli enarrant gloriam Dei

Robert O'Brien Posts: 348 Joined: Aug. 2006 (Permalink) Posted: May 24 2007,21:13    By the way, I recently forwarded this to Avalos: Quote Dr. Gonzalez: I am sorry that you have been denied tenure thus far at Iowa State; you deserve better. Clearly, quality of scholarship is not the issue, since the university is willing to grant tenure to Avalos and Allen (Duae tabulae rasae in quibus nihil scriptum est) but denies it to you. In any event, you have my best wishes. Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. Sincerely, Robert O'Brien And, of course, I previously sent him this: Quote Avalos: I have to laugh at the claim you are a Biblical scholar. I am very well read in the field, and I have you to encounter your name. As an undergraduate I took Attic Greek from a favorite prof of mine who studied under Gregory Nagy and James Kugel at Harvard; even with those "once removed" credentials I would not hesitate to take you on. -------------- Caeli enarrant gloriam Dei

Would you mind terribly mind sketching out a quick bio for me? Something touching on degrees, teaching, publications, work experience, and so on. Thanks!

There are enough people here with credentials (and even more people with wit and intellect!) to realise how shallow credentials can be. They can be a useful marker, but they aren't the be all and end all. What one should be judged upon is the the quality of one's arguments, the evidence marshalled in their favour and the accuracy of one's science (or whatever field one is in). So this Avalos fellow seems to be doing really rather well. Compare and contrast this with Bobby's "arguments". Oh dear Bobby. You look a bit foolish and unsubstantial based on your "arguments", as indeed does your precious religion of ID. Ooopsie. I expect your usual one line, content free piece of anti-intellectual drivel by return of post, Bobby. Please include some Latin. Dance you arrogant little comedy monkey, dance. Louis -------------- Bye.

Sorry kids, but as your kindly old lecherous uncle, I recommend breaking off the engagement immediately! You two just don't seem right for each other... irreconcilable differences, I believe.  One of you is well within the range of normal, and one of you (Bob) is lost in their own little ID world.
