It’s the ToE Litmus Test.
What it gets down to every time credentials are debated is that if someone is a avid supporter of the FRevo version of the ToE, he’s a *real scientist* regardless of his (lack of) credentials.
If someone questions the assumptions made that support the ToE and doubt the conclusions hard core evos have come to, then no amount of education in the sciences will earn the recognition that the person is a scientist and knows what he is talking about.
Here you’re willing to give Darwin a pass on the lack of science degree, but rather having a degree in theology because....... Why?
Because I don't user your litmus test, and I refuse to conform to your idea of what "all evo's" are or do.
