Of course he isn't. He is highly skilled at extracting money from gullible rubes.

What was his major in his Christian “university”?
What field of science was it in which he was gainfully employed?
What was his PhD in?
Does any of this give him qualification to speak about biology, genetics, origin of life?
No?
Then What motivated him to presume authoratativeness despite his lack of qualification and related professional accomplishemmet, using totally unrelated PhD as camouflage? Ah, yes, his matriculation from a Christian establishement of higher “learning” offers a clue.
He studied the philosophy of science to earn a PhD from Cambridge university. He has a lot of knowledge about genetics and biology.
In that case you must perforce also believe that the moon landings were faked, right?
After all, that is the claim of Prof. James H. Fetzer who also holds a PhD in the philosophy of science.

So let me get this straight ... if a PhD from Cambridge says there is no god, (Steven Hawking) then you accept what he says.
LOL
Too bad Meyer's credentials are in the wrong fields.
" Meyer has absolutely no qualifications in biology. he does hold a Bachelor of Science in geology and physics, but his Ph.D is in the philosophy of science[2] which has no relevance to Evolutionary Biology"

Interesting. Do you have a degree in evolutionary biology? How about a PhD?

It could give a flip about your feelings or my feelings. It cares about solving problems through numerical values. That's it. I can be mad at it, tell it that it's stupid, refer to it as "my solipsist friend", or whatever I want to say about it. It won't listen to a word I say, it doesn't care to, it doesn't need to. It's simply there to do what it's supposed to do.
I am having a hard time undertanding your diatribe. Were you adressing someone else?
Quote:Additionally when you try to invalidate someone as a scientist or from a particular study because it's a different field, then you're missing the whole point of scientific study. I have a degree, but only in two scientific fields, but it doesn't limit me to those fields. Actually it might make me relevant to a study in a different field because I can help isolate variables based on my fields of study. The requirements don't change. At the end of the day, myself and whoever I'm working with just need to follow the same scientific standards. If we miss something, no problem. Trial and error is acceptable. It may be what is needed to set up the appropriate parameters next time, or it may help other scientists do an even better study. That is how we we advance our knowledge. Even when we work separately, we're still contributing collectively.
You do not sound like you have one. Is it a philisophy degree?
I was addressing you. We're applying mathematics. If you don't like the math, math don't care. Got it?
Your statement, "You don't sound like you have one." Please qualify. At what point is my statement did you determine that the opposite is likely true? Can't wait to hear this.
Nope, not philosophy. Although I did study philosophy, but not as to pursue a degree specifically in that field. Also for leisure. If I tried to get a degree from every branch of science that interests me, I would spend a dozen lifetimes in school.

Ohhh, they just simply don’t. I see; it all makes sense now! Thank you so much for elucidating that particular biological mechanism of action for me. I think I’m one step closer to becoming a Christian! You’re good at this! 😐

When the overwhelming number of people who do disagree with him that should tell you something. And considering he's trying to overturn the cornerstone of modern biology again should tell you something .
Quote:Sounds more like you making excuses for being wrong. lol
But okay, believe whatever you like.
Him - There's 0
Me - Here's 1
Him - That 1 doesn't count. I meant it had to be a different 1.
You - You're making excuses. He must be right.
And this is when I say - Derp!

Poet asserts a value of 0 within this forum.
Argument easily refuted with a minimum requirement of one example.
Prediction - He/she will likely suggest some other variable even though said variable was never specified.
Conclusion - Derp!
