So what? (appeal to irrelevant authority)
Many of the people here (including me) have degrees equally or more relevant.
The purposes of most undergraduate degrees is hopefully teach one to think and to introduce one to a discipline. An undergraduate degree does NOT make one an expert,only a person who has read a bit. A graduate degree may become an expert in a narrow area of a discipline.You offer your opinions,which is your right.However,so far I've seen nothing which gives your arguments credibility and nothing to suggest you have the expert status implied by your appeal to authority.
From reading your posts, I think you could have as many degrees as a thermometer and you would remain a closed minded apologist,unmoved by anything as prosaic as reason or evidence..
Can't be bothered with you.
PS: Giordano Bruno was executed for heresy. The church did a lot of that,and it is inexcusable.Period.
