No. He is a mathematician, and a bad one, who works for some hack at the 
Discovery Institute, who probably got *his* science degree from some 
place like Liberty University, or the like. Alternatively, it might have 
been from a legitimate institution, but they where one of the clowns 
that managed to put out a final thesis that is 100% based on what they 
learned in class, thus appearing to understand the material, while, 
never the less, rejecting 100% of the conclusions, including the ones 
they put in their own final paper. This has, unfortunately, happened a 
few times in recent years...
