Why do all neo-creationists suddenly have PHD's?

Question

If everything is according to God, why isn't the Bible and a man of the cloth not good enough?

You've got:

Dr. Carl Baugh
Dr. Hovind
The Discovery institute...etc

Answer 1

Because they are using the talents God has given them so that they can later wise up and contradict him.

Answer 2

It's called "argument from authority". People like William Dumbski - oops, Dembski - and those you mentioned grant each other "degrees" in the hope that the growing number of ignorant voters will be impressed by titles and elect politicians, judges, and schoolboard members who believe in the religious bunk that they sell and whom the creationazis support.

They misquote and misrepresent their own and other people's words to further their cause. For example, Duane Gish continues to flog a book full of half-truths and misrepresentations that have long been debunked; in public debates, when the errors are pointed out, he says "That will be corrected in the next edition." His book has never been corrected for 20+ years, despite "new editions" published on a regular basis.

Gish, by the way, is the only one of the creationist clowns who has completed (I wouldn't say earned) a PhD. However, given his lies and frauds, he is longer credible and the doctorate should be revoked, or at the very least, not recognized. The only title he should be addressed with is "Mr.", and not "Doctor", and using that term is generous.

Doctor is not a title, it's what Gish does to evidence.

Answer 3

Many scientist throughout history have also been great Christians. It is only because most of this generation grew up with evolutionary misinformation being forced upon them that creation is new to some people. Once they stop name-calling and actually look at it without bias, more scientist agree with the creation theory.

Answer 4

Attorney Randy Wenger, who is an attorney for "Discovery Institute", a bible thumper front organizaton:

"I think we (creationists) need to do a better job at being clever as serpents."

Interesting how bible thumpers have to lie to promote their message, it being the "word of God" and all.

Atheism, the only logical choice.

Answer 5

People don't always believe the Bible until they understand the science that supports it, so those people go on to get PhD's and PROVE the Bible to themselves through their own studies of religion and creation science.

Answer 6

Because you can buy a Ph.D straight off the internet. Do a google search on "Get Your Doctorate Now!" and see for yourself. Half these jackleg blowhard preachers can't even read and don't even have a legitimate college degree.

Answer 7

Lol, Kent Hovind isn't a real doctor, he uses the title inappropriately. They use the titles because it's easier to brainwash people when they think you're important and or smart.

Answer 8

have you ever considered the fact that their Phd's just might not have anythign to do with their personal, religios, or moral beliefs?
for instance, if i have a PHd in geology, and i happen to be religios, does that mean that i acquired that PHd to try and shove my religion down your throat? no, i got it because i love staring at rocks.
go figure.


i guess i could shove rocks down your throat...

Answer 9

Because they neo-created them? Because they Intelligently designed them? Are you sure these folks are Phd.s? Maybe they are D.D.s (doctor of divinity), a degree that seminaries offer.

Answer 10

Because they are using the talents God has giving them and becoming as educated as they can.
