No...I would have to say that one is just above an Education Major.

Hey, that's not fair. Merton, Williamson, and others have provided invaluable insights into the functioning of human institutions, which are now being applied in corporate finance, business strategy, and, more broadly, institutional economics.

Of course, they did most of their stuff 40-50 years go. I'm an financial economist, not a sociologist, so I'm not up on what they're up to now.

Did you notice those quotes? Those are all common creationist canards that you usually see on every creationist website that purports to have quotes from established scientists on what they think of evolution. I'd bet the Quote Mine Project has each of them already there.
