From the
linked website."The book is like no other work that we are aware of, in that it is authored exclusively by nine Ph.D. scientists. Our hope is that this fact will cause evolutionists to sit up and listen. All of these authors received their doctorates from similar, secular universities as their evolutionary counterparts. Each is a specialist in various fields relevant to the subjects on which they write, such as:"
Well, let's see.
THE SUBJECT ON WHICH THEY WRITE and
its relevancy to their field of expertise. Dr Don Batten Don Batten NATURAL SELECTION
Don received both his B.Sc.Agr.(First Class Honours) and his Ph.D. from the University of Sydney. He worked for 20 years as a research horticulturalist with the NSW Department of Agriculture.
Nothing in his bio hinting at having done work in natural selection. Just a PhD guy working for the New South Wales Department of Agriculture.
Dr. Jonathan Sarfati ORIGIN OF LIFE
Jonathan received his B.Sc. (hons) in Chemistry and his Ph.D. (Physical Chemistry)
No mention of anything to do with biology, Just a chemist with a PhD
Dr Tas Walker GEOLOGY
Tas holds a B.Sc. a B.Eng (hons) and a doctorate in mechanical engineering, all from the University of Queensland.
Think people in mechanical engineering have a good background in geology? Me neither.
Dr Robert W. Carter GENETICS
He obtained a BS in Applied Biology from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1992. He then spent four years teaching high school biology, chemistry, physics and electronics before going to the University of Miami to obtain his PhD in Marine Biology.
Well, at least here we have a PhD guy speaking on an issue that's within his field, but alas hardly one he works in, just with.
Dr Jim Mason RADIOMETRIC DATING
Jim has a B.Sc. in Engineering Physics from Queens University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada and a Ph.D. in experimental Nuclear Physics from McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario Canada
Holding "positions in software engineering, system engineering, program management and line management" is hardly working in radiometric dating.
Dr Emil Silvestru FOSSIL RECORD
Emil earned his Ph.D in geology at the Babes-Bolyai University in Cluj, Romania, (where he has worked as an associate professor) in karst sedimentology.
Trouble here is that fossilization embraces much more than karst formations. So while Silvestru may be familiar with some of the fossils coming from karst sedimentology, one can't assume he's any kind of expert on fossils, such as paleontologists.
Prof John Hartnett COSMOLOGY
John G. Hartnett received both his B.Sc. (hons) and his Ph.D. with distinction from the Department of Physics at the University of Western Australia (UWA). He works as an ARC DORA research fellow in the Institute of Photonics and Advanced Sensing and the School of Chemistry and Physics at the University of Adelaide.
Johns research interests include the development of ultra-stable cryocooled microwave oscillators based on a sapphire crystal, ultra low-noise radar and ultra-stable optical cavities for advanced optical clocks
And this has what to do with cosmology? Nothing, of course.
Dr David Catchpoole ETHICS
David received his B.Ag.Sc. (Hons) from the University of Adelaide and a Ph.D. from the University of New England (New South Wales). His Ph.D. investigated nitrogen transfer between tree legumes, associated grass and ruminant animals (goats).
Ah yes the nitrogen transfer between tree legumes, associated grass and ruminant animals! What better qualifies a person to speak on ethics.
Dr Mark Harwood ETHICS
Mark Harwood completed his tertiary education at the University of Sydney where he received B.Sc., B.E. (Hons) and Ph.D. degrees. His postgraduate studies were focused on radiotelescopes and computer techniques for antenna design and measurement.
And another PhD guy who is just as ill equipped to speak on ethics as those who study the nitrogen transfer between tree legumes, associated grass and ruminant animals!
Of course, none of us familiar with creationist tactics find any of this surprising. Same old story: Trot out anyone with a degree in anything and pass them off as an expert on whatever they choose to talk about. Hmmmm. Seems that there's a name for such fallacious tactics.
