i randomly picked a name. Dr Kurt Wise. For reference I he was the first I picked, totally at random. Well lookey here, he got is 'doctorate' from Bryan, a college that 'puts christ above all'. Well well. There was Dr Harold Coffin, at the presdigious and well known 'Southwestern Adventist University'. Hmmm. Theme emerging here. Dr James A. Huggins, Union University - A Southern Baptist University that seems to have gone under to boot. I tried a few others, the only information was more and more copies of this oh-so-impressive list. For none could I actually find their dissertation paper. Tried the ATHENS system for accessing papers, nothing. I didn't bother checking out the plain old medical doctors which you amusingly seem to think is the same. Or the plastic surgeons. Or dentists. Despite it being common knowledge that plastic surgeons are all experts in palaeontology and geology.

A list of doctors and doctorates doesn't make you any more wrong, it just doesn't mean you're quite as alone. Anyone that's attented a major university knows they all have a fair share of kooks and oddities, I associate with a fair few people particularly from Cambridge and some of the strange characters they know of.... The point is that this list doesn't make any difference. Creationism has no scientific basis and the arguments against evolution either rely of falicies or on gaps on the fossil record.
OK, so the ones from the "better" universities are kooks, and the ones from "less than top rate" univerisities are well...less just say they aren't qualified.

Riiiiiiight.
