Compare the credentials of proponents and opponents. PhD in Christian Science vs in biology,

Jonathan Sarfati has a PhD in chemistry. He's a young earth creationist. William Dembski has a PhD in math. He's an ID proponent. Michael Behe is a biochemist with tenure at a major university. He's an ID proponent.

Simply working off of credentials is insufficient.
