If he were so clever wouldn't he have come up with his own arguments instead of using long discredited arguments and distorions of and lies about valid research?
On your second point, his teaching consists of preaching in two very minor biblical literalist "colleges" where your ability to toe the party line, viz "the bible is always right. If we find something in nature which contradicts the bible then nature is wrong", counts far more than the relevance of your arguments, your ability to carry out research and, indeed, your intelligence. You cannot use his teaching experience as a testament to his intelligence.
To your first point, what topic are you suggesting that have been "long discredited" and what "distortions of and lies about valid research"?
To your second, I did not bring up his teaching posts. I brought up the fact he has 2 doctorate degrees and written over 30 books.
Firstly, every single point he makes has been either long discredited nonsense or lying manipulation of other's research.
On the second point, from the way I read it I thought you were talking about the teaching posts, so I'm sorry for misreading your post. If you were indicating his intelligence from his degrees, well an appeal to authority (especially when the authority is in a subject whose conclusions are unverifiable and unsupportable by evidence) doesn't get you far. People can be brilliant in one area while still being absolute idiots.
