Avoiding the question? You also forget the whole premise of this thread; that Creationist are so called “liars.”

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.

Well, if not having a degree in science is irrelevant to whether someone is called a scientist or not and Darwin can be considered a scientist with only a degree in theology, then there's no justification for the evos to reject any of the claims of being a scientist made by IDers or creationists, some of whom do actually hold actual degrees in science, something Darwin could never claim.

So when you finally figure out whether or not it holds true...

I wait with bated breath.
