But Johnson, the law professor, is repeatedly claiming to know enough about
biology, paleontology, etc., to warrant his declaration that the
professional scientific community has gotten its theorizing about the
formational history of the universe entirely wrong! Shouldn't such a bold
claim be based on a foundation of thorough familiarity with the
professional judgment that he declares null and void?
