Call me crazy, but I get the feeling that the smart people might actually know what they are talking about.

Maybe they're looking for MDs. Since, you know, MDs aren't snooty or academics at all ever. Oh wait, what's that? They're humans too, like the rest of the PhDs and Ivory tower denziens? Oh, well fuck me.
Also, this is one more reason I want to get my PhD. The more distance from these people, the better.

Why, those stupid, ignorant Paleontology Ph.D.s!
Spending years comparing fossils to one another, reading the observations of other paleontologists who do the same, trying to come up with a picture of natural history that's consistent with all the findings, going through Peer Review so that others can point out any flaws in their theories -- sheesh! What do THEY know?!

Look who's talking!!, since when is biology a pseudo-science and a title in a mill university one?. In which alternative sphere are you living in?

do you know what sciance is?

The tiresome 'scientists support evolution' line is not very meaningful.
Yeah, who'd believe one of them there biochemist or paleontologist guys who actually knows what evolution is? [/sarcasm]

In other words, people that know what they're talking about.

Yes.

Yep, totally unrelated fields. Like genetics, zoology, botany, evolutionary biology, you know what, let's just go with biology. There is support for an old earth, at least, that's what the geologists think. And the physicists seem to think that the big bang is relevant to their field as well.

I'm so using that from now on. "Don't step to me -- I'm a Denizen of the Ivory Tower, muthafucka!"

I'm just a little confused, so help me out here ..... Biology, Physics, Paleontology, Zoology, et al are only considered a science??? You mean they are not real sciences???? So what are they then exactly ... English Lit? And what would be a real science ... wait let me guess .... christianity with its super science book the bible?

Both an idiot and a newbie. Seriously -- not only is this guy wrong, his editing alone would get him banned even from Conservapedia. (And CP is as big a creationist circlejerk as you'll find outside the ICR or the Discovery Institute.)

Yeah, a PhD isn't always a good indicator of reliability. After all, they're so easy to get.

Such as biology, biochemistry, paleontology and genetics. And remember, kids, it isn't pollution that is harming our environment, it's the impurities in the air and water that are doing it.

Yes, that is what people usually mean when they say "scientist", as in people that are well educated and know wtf they are talking about. As opposed to people like that don't know shit about science.
Guess which group has more credibility?

So, you mean you need to have learned about science to be scientist?
