While it is not beyond people to fudge their educational background, I find I can't dismiss it until I see them saying something completely wrong given their field.
I have known some very very smart people, and highly educated as well, that went from theistic evolutionists to pretty much creationists. They give a little wiggle room for OE rather than YE (though we may be fooled!) but otherwise it is the same.
It was shocking to see the tranformation, and one of them is a highly educated, and now very very well paid biologist. Of course I caught him pretty well plagiarizing ID material. This is how I discovered ID in the first place.
So yeah, people can even have advanced bio degrees and then lose control to faith.

I still think that this dude has no Bio degree. Check this out:
Yes, that would do quite nicely. Though I suppose it is possible for bio majors not to be up on the 2nd Law, the rest seems like gibberish.

Heck, I was shocked how many biology, and worse still pre-med, students felt they didn't need chemistry.
(added in... nevermind this, just testing a strange glitch I am having with EvC.)
