Avoiding the question? You also forget the whole premise of this thread; that Creationist are so called liars.
And as for Mendel, I seriously doubt that Mendel would agree with Darwin. in fact, all evidence points to him being a Creationist. So are you agreeing in calling Mendel a liar? And are you going to answer the first question; do you think Darwin was qualified to found the theory of Evolution, a man who was not a scientist but a major on theology?
Please dont use the usual Evo tactic of avoiding the questions, I have replied to your comments in a straight forward manner.
I'm simply examining your premise (that Darwin should not be considered a scientist because he studied theology, and did not have degree in a biology). Before I adopt that criteria as being a valid test of whether someone should be considered a scientist or not, I want to examine it on it's merits and see if it holds true. If it does not, then I have to ask why you've chosen to adopt it, and why you think I should.
