Where he got his degree from is irrelevant to the question of what motivated him to pursue it in the first place.

So are you saying the content of his studies are irrelevant. It does sound like you could be making excuses for your inablity to refute this article. So using your logic - what schools you went too and your credentuals are irrelavent, all you care about is what you have decided is his persons motives.

Upon what basis in cell and molecular biology does he conclude that TToE is "first and foremost a weapon against religion"?

Wells also has a Ph.D. in theology from Yale University - do some research before you post. Do you have a Ph.D. is theology?

No, I'm not. A question of what motivated him to seek his degree was answered by stating where he got his degree from - the content of his studies is irrelevant to what motivated him to pursue that study. I don't believe that you are unable to understand that why a person does something is a separate issue from how they go about doing it.

I'm aware of his degree in theology. If he's making these assertions from a theological basis, then why argue over his credentials as a biologist?

I don't have a degree in theology. Will you state outright that unless I have a degree in theology I have to accept anything he says as fact, or just make tacit implications?
