Hi all!
The subjects of credentials and knowledge have been raised in this thread recently, and I want to clarify the moderator position.
Credentials are irrelevant. If you have them it doesn't make you right, and if you don't have them it doesn't make you wrong. Here at EvC Forum you are judged on the depth and breadth of your knowledge and the quality of your arguments and reasoning.
Knowledge is very relevant, but a debate isn't won simply by saying, "You don't know much, do you." It's a significant challenge to take someone whose position is based upon insufficient knowledge and improve that knowledge, let alone change their minds, and along the way you'll find your own knowledge improving. Bear in mind the difficulty of the task.
