Intellectuals

Writing the posts below made me recall the creationists at the forum last week demanding to know "What does Webster's say?" about the definitions of scientific theory and scientific law. So I thought I should provide a handy definition of the word "intellectual":


Oxford: adj. 1. of or appealing to the intellect. 2. possessing a high level of intelligence. 3. requiring the intellect. n. person possessing highly developed intellect.

Bly: wingnut. set of seemingly thoughtful ideas or concepts, compiled to confuse or demean normal human thought.

More tomorrow.
