At the meeting held in Greeneville, TN of the ‘Creation Seminar‘ when famed chemist Alan White spoke? He has a PhD in chemistry from Harvard (you know, one of those big famous schools were only the most intelligent graduate).
A research fellow at Eastman Chemical Company for 27 years, White holds 39 U.S. patents and is an author of 18 scientific publications. In his talk, White made his case for a created universe — rather than one that somehow evolved naturally without creator or design — by using examples relating to the complexity of a single cell, or amoeba. “Complexity does not happen by chance over a long period of time,” he said. “Greater complexity is only seen when energy and intelligence are combined.” White went on to say that all steps in evolution theories are “highly unlikely” over a long period of time.
So he has to be right. He went to Harvard and has published in ‘peer reviewed’ journals.

Kurt Wise, uber-scholar in the shunned sub-discipline of baraminology studied under Stephen Jay Gould. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_Wise
I think that answers the truth by association argument from Harvard. More to post on this when I dig my way out of these theses I am grading – with a 9 page rubric I developed for the program. Call it analysis by masochism
But at least we will have reliable data we can use to improve the program unlike Drs. Wise and White.
