The only thing fossilized here is the bullshit.
The fact that many prominent creationists actually have legitimate PhD's, for example one Emil Silvestru has a PHD in Geology!. Has made myself not take into account the qualifications of anybody making an argument. Anybody who actually is arguing well for their position (like Richard Dawkins) don't resort to trying to point out they have a PhD (which he does) or Robert M Price for that matter (who has two PhD degrees).
Perhaps, but someone who claims an advanced degree which is illegitimate, or irrelevant, or from a diploma mill is basically lying about their qualifications, pretending they are something they are not, and willfully misleading people by listing them. Dishonesty of a source, any source, speaks directly to credibility.
