Re: Scientific Qualifications are very low level
Anyone who has a PhD in one area and uses it to justify their views on another is an idiot.
​
As Heinlein noted:
​
Expertise in one field does not carry over into other fields. But experts often think so. The narrower their field of knowledge the more likely they are to think so.
​
Robert A. Heinlein, Time Enough for Love, 1973
Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.
