Check out this Monty White guy on http://bcseweb.org.uk/index.php/Main/MontyWhite

It seems despite his claims to be a scientist he only has 2 yrs research experience - & his 'expertise', such that it is, is in semiconductors and the like, not in anything related to evolution like geology or biochemistry. Furthermore, his scientific knowledge dates from the 60's and is totally out of date.

It seems he did start off studying geology, but switched to chemistry - he probably couldnt hack it. I wonder why?

It seems this Answers in Genesis group is touring the UK over the nxt few months - anyone fancy going to the events & asking awkward questions? Or standing outside flyering people as they go in & out?

There's no use decrying the slow creep of creationism if we atheists arent willing to go out n challenge it.

Just remember - you have to accept him into your life ... because he loves you :-)

4. What are your qualifications to question religion anyway? Just who are you?

Saying that only qualified theologians can talk about religion is like saying that only political scientists should be allowed to vote.

Religion isn't science, its a branch of philosophy, and like any other Arts subject, one doesnt need to be an 'expert' to hold an opinion upon it.

In any case, theologians are no more qualified to discuss the Philosophy of Religion than the man on the street - they can only tell someone about the implications of their faith, with the existence of God already presumed (as it is in many theology courses).
