There is a thin line between tort fraud and representing an institute as scientific enough to speak with authority at, say, school board meetings, due to the credentials of its participants, which turn out to be all but non-existent upon examination. It takes more than a snotty, supercelious attitude to turn lead credentials into gold, hard as you may try.

I wouldn't call a legal distinction to be a thin line of demarcation, although obviously, this distinction is lost on snotty and supercilious attitudes such as your own.

Other than that, and in reference to non existent credentials, see my reply to js1138 in post #407.

...until you get a good enough lawyer.

Sheesh, can't any of you guys make up your own insults?

It's also lost on me how you think it's a clever argument to flash an education doctorate as your certification of expertise for the Discovery Institute and its followers to be testifying about science in a public forum. But maybe that's just me.
