Phoney Credentials are an old ploy. You create a legal way to make yourself or someone else an expert. There are many ways of creating the illusion of authority. Certificates, degrees, licenses, tests, and many other methods may be used to create this illusion of authority. Once you create the illusion, you ask the artificially credible person the question, and he or she gives you the answer that you were looking for. This question and answer routine needs to be performed before an audience, whether on TV, in print, or a live audience. Then you have proved your point and created the magical illusion you were hoping to create.

For example: here is the problem as one evolutionist sees it. There are fake scientists out there!!! They call themselves creation scientists, but they aren't really scientists!!!!!

You see, according to this evolutionist, there are certain specific credentials that will transform lowly mortals into scientists. To be a real scientist, you must take a certain test and there are many questions on the "real-scientist test" regarding evolution. In fact, there are so many questions requiring that you bow to the evolution god that if you don't believe in evolution, you can't pass the test. If you can't pass the test, you can't be a real scientist.

So, this test proves the theory of evolution all by itself. Only real scientists can pass the test because it screens out any non-evolutionists. Therefore, it follows that creation scientists are not real scientists. It certainly seems to make sense to our evolutionist friend, and he would know, being a real scientist who passed the test.

Evolution isn't science.
