Nothing, however, is required to "maintain such a degree". Once you have it, it's yours. And even if you did science as part of obtaining the degree, that doesn't mean that you continue to be a scientist after finishing. <br /><br />What creationists call "creation science" is not science, but motivated reasoning using the Texas-sharpshooter-fallacy as their "method" (it's axiomatic-deductive, where evidence is accommodate, rather than hypothetic-deductive, if you wish, and thus not science but rather applying the same approach to inquiry as medieval scholastics - that they don't seem to recognize the difference is itself pretty damning). <br /><br />I have been unable to locate any science done by Dr. Lester, but if it exists, it's dwarfed by the pseudoscience he is currently engaged in.G.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08875360501107597863noreply@blogger.com
