Your confidence in the "suitably credentialled" (PhDs, et al) is touching, PH. But what is the basis of your faith in such characters, sight unseen? Why is it you just naturally assume good will on their part?

Their work is published and reviewed by others. Anyone can study the material if he has doubts about its authenticity. I have confidence in the system because it works. In effect, they say: "Here's the evidence we have, and here are our conclusions." That's fine with me. That's what should be presented to children in school. If they want to study the material in depth, there are libraries. And if they want to become specialists in a scientific field, that's what universities are for. As for Genesis, we all start out with that. Not a problem.
