I am claiming, as an argument from authority, "hundreds of thousands or millions of scientists have, in their professional knowledge of science, failed to see a problem reconciling the scientific method or scientific knowledge with Christian belief". That is an argument from authority and the number of scientists is certainly relevant, it is not ad populum, that is an undergraduate application of that principle.
Any fool can look up a list of fallacies and apply them willy nilly to advance his case.
