Scientists are highly qualified in their areas of study. outside those areas, a scientists knowledge drops significantly. It all depends on their level of interest and participation in areas outside their realm. Even where I work, different scientists have different ideas about each other's specialties and are not necessarily aware of what thoseother areas entail.

Which is why you occasionally run across a geologist who finds ID convincing, or a biologist who is worried that the young-earth geological arguments have some substance.
