BS.
Are you really saying that pursuing a doctorate in a special field "is a waste of time?"
Here now is the fourth example here of atheistic, smug triumphalism.
A particular area of a specific subject, then spend no more time on the subject, ever.
Atheistic smug triumphalism, please find any of that in my post then reread your pointless op and say it doesnt stink of your own lofty thoughts. A Phd is a fanstastic achievement, but it doesn't mean as much as some people believe it does, it isn't the holy grail, it doesn't make you any better at the overall subject, just the tiny tiny fraction you study, but then so does 3-4 years study of any subject, regardless of whether you get a piece of paper afterwards and some nice letters before your name.
For credentials, David Irving, the holocaust denying Nazi sypathiser is also one of the finest historians on Nazi Germany and Fascism. He does not have a degree at all. Some people are just good, you should checks his sources not his education.
Lastly why do you doubt his credentials? Are you really a Christian, not a pantheist? Because you stink of desperation.
