What I see is that he "completed 60 credit hours toward a major in math
and science", which means that he didn't get a degree. "He then transferred
to Midwestern Baptist College to double major in Bible and education."
Therefore he abandoned, for whatever reason, his pursuit of a science or
math degree in favor of Bible and education. I don't criticize his choice,
since it was indeed his choice to make, but to claim some expertise in
"science" (by the way; what kind of science did he study? There's no mention
of specifics) without clarifying his exact field of study is culpably
misleading. In addition, while his lack of a degree does not itself
preclude some knowledge of science (though he obviously has some
misconceptions), his misleading offering of credentials--plus his
fire-and-brimstone style of brow-beating and insulting those who do not
share his views--makes him seem like a typical pulpit propaganda preacher.
From my perusal of his website, he doesn't really qualify as part of the
"legitimate scientific community."
Dave!
