I have little problem with these diploma mills. After all, they help keep idiots from disrupting legitimate, science classes.

And, they produce clowns for our amusement.

You know what I think I'll do? I think I'll found the University of Dave, enroll, earn my PhD, and call myself Doctor. Consider the advantages of the U of D:

* It's the only institute of higher learning within practical travel distance of my home.

* It's affordable -- much more so than P.U. or any other diploma mill.

* I can work at my own pace.

* It's accredited (by the Chicken Girl College Guide).

* Best of all, it will demand that I meet certain standards of excellence before it awards me a PhD -- namely, that I read certain materials and type up a final dissertation of a certain length.

There, you see? My PhD is just as legitimate as Hovind's. Go me.

I should buy doctorates for my young children. Then I can rightfully claim that they are as educated as Dr. Dino.

Pre-schools and kindergartens often give out little diplomas to their wee graduates. Trust me, they represent a higher level of education than PU doctorates.

Is that where Johnathon Sarfati got his Ph.D too?

In his biography at AIG the only institution of learning mentioned is Victoria University of Wellington. It says he has a B.Sc. in Chemistry and a Ph.D. in Spectroscopy. I think that Sarfati himself would consider P.U. to be below him.

I can assure you that he has no degree from By Bayou U. Although I might consider him for one. After all, Helen Fryman (Setterfield) got her degree in Trans-sonic Trubidity for her thesis on the origin of the Green River Formation as being nothing but turbidity layers.
