While this is of course entirely true, this particular species of preacher uses scientific paraphernalia and language as a form of confidence trick to give their claptrap a cheap scientific veneer. It's all about image and performance; you only have to look at John Pendleton in his labcoat, Kent Hovind with his labcoat and plastic doctorate, and Ian Juby whose IQ is, apparently, off the scale (though which end of it, he never actually specifies). If it comes from a scientist it must be true - unless it's a real scientist, in which case it's all a huge Satanic conspiracy.
