Can someone give me some feed back on this? The guy has a B.A. in biology, M.S. in botany, and Ph.D. in geology and palynology and someone I'm debating thinks he's now a moon expert.

I learned something very important today. I learned that just because a person has an education that doesn't mean that they will necessarily reason in a manner that utilizes, or is consistent with, that education. This seems to be a perfect example.

I see you cut & pasted the credentials straight from the web page. I was going cross-eyed even before I got to the link. I'd never heard of palynology before, but I found out that it is a branch of science "...dealing with microscopic, decay-resistant remains of certain plants and animals. It has many applications including archaeological palynology, Quaternary palynology , and stratigraphic palynology." (Thanks, Yahoo!)

Also, how do you get a Bachelor of Arts in biology? Shouldn't that be a Bachelor of Science? Once I got to the link, I realized that this must be the only B.S. missing from this page.

Most of it is recycled Richard Hoagland bong water. I pulled-up the photos he referenced:

AS10-32-4822
AS10-32-4854
AS10-32-4855
AS10-32-4856
AS16-121-19438
and a Lunar Orbiter page of the area.

I saw nothing unusual, so I yahoo'ed "Ukert Sinus Medii" and came up with a Hoagland page. As usual, Hoagland freely interprets any convergence of straight lines as an "artificial structure" If they don't quite line up in precise geometric angles or patterns, well then they are "heavily eroded artificial structures."

With my own eyes, I've seen several "pyramid-shaped" mountains from the air - Mt. Everest and the Matterhorn, to name two. My favorite is in the western Catalina mountains, just north of Tucson, Arizona. If we look at this photomosaic with Hoagland-Vision™, we can clearly see a heavily eroded pyramid in the upper center, and to the south are mysterious cross-like structures of obviously artificial origin.

Quick! Somebody stop me before I figure out a way to make money off of this!

With my Hoagascope® I saw a number of obviously artificial structures in the upper left-hand corner of the image. With my Secret RCH Decoder Ring® I was able to find 33 examples of Masonic numerology and symbolism, which turned out to be so secret, I can't mention them here (well, at least not without charging people, plus shipping and handling).

At the university I attended, all of the biological sciences (biology, botany, microbiology, zoology) offered both BA and BS. My own degree is a BA in zoology. Maybe the physical sciences offered these, too, but I don't remember. The BA option included three semesters (12 units, IIRC) of a foreign language in place of a roughly equivalent number of units in science. Why go for the BA instead of BS? One reason (e.g. mine) was to get a head start on the foreign language requirement for a master's (which in the event I never got).

Thanks for the clarification (even if it did blow a good gag).

I guess the the BA is for anyone inclined to write, "What's in a name? That which we call a rosa centifolia by any other name would smell as sweet..."

To draw a parallel with genetic research, just because you've got degrees up the wazoo, an international reputation as a researcher, and have won a Nobel Prize, doesn't mean that you (Linus Pauling) are going to be right about the structure of DNA.

Unlike non-scientific fields, reputation and authority don't influence accurate experimental results. Every scientist is liable to make a mistake the next time out.
