Most of the members of Institute for Creation Research have Ph.D.'s and they will
accept no members with less than a master's degree.

"no one alive with a marsters degree is a scientist", you say.

That is a strange statement, Joe. You'll have to explain what you mean by that.

Last I heard, science means knowledge and a scientist is a person who loves
knowledge. So, a scientist doesn't even have to have a degree. He just has to
have a significant knowledge base of the field he is involved in.

Would you say George Washington Carver or Thomas Alva Edison were not scientists
and were morons or less, because they didn't have a piece of paper with their
name on it?

But then, you say "in the last fifty years most (well over 50%) of ph.d.'s are morons"

For all I know, 99% are morons but then again only 1% may be morons. What kind of
data are you trying to pass along here, without even so much as a -g- to explain it?
Are you making up those statistics, or acting in faith to believe them? Where is the
documentation on the percentage of morons among Ph.D.s?

I think you've been hanging around that guy Galt too much and his egocentric subjective
orientation is perhaps rubbing off on you.

Life on Mars? The first thought that occurred to me and my wife was, NASA is pumping
for more funding. This is a new way to do that! Kind of like the Piltdown man, hoax?

What do you think of Carl Sagan? Let me guess: Sagan believes in evolution, so you
probably believe he is a brilliant scientist?
