Ph.D.s tend to be in subjects such as marine engineering or gas kinetics
rather than in relevant disciplines like zoology or geology. And often they
are earned not at real universities, but at little-known Bible colleges deep
in Bush country."

It's not 'circular reasoning' to discount 'experts' with bogus
credentials. Maybe you should look those words up.

The subjects of the 'vaunted' PH.D's are generally practical and useful
in application and are not based on the evolutionist belief system.

Why would they be based on 'the evolutionist belief system'? First,
there's no such thing (evolution is science, your religion is a belief
system), and second, evolution has nothing to do with their area of study.

'Real Universities' grant degrees and other qualifications only to those
who pay lip service to evolution theories.

You mean I can't get a degree in, say, music without 'paying lip service
to evolution theories'? Maybe you mean degrees in science? Yeah, those
'real universities' are pretty strict about wanting their science majors
to study *science*. Go figure.

Maybe in your divine world it's better if science students study
religion, I don't know. For my part, I won't be going to any doctors
that graduate from Divine Science U. I'd rather be cured than saved.

True Christians are hampered at school, college and university if they
openly follow the truths of the Bible.

If 'following the truths of the Bible' means rejecting reality, then of
course they'll be hampered. But their churches and priests, not their
universities and professors, convinced them to reject reality. Put the
blame where it belongs

I pray every day for Richard Dawkins and others who blindly oppose God
in their quest for truth in this world.

I'm sure your prayers will be as effective for them as they seem to be
for heart surgery patients.
