I'm impressed. I am sure you know a ton about animals and treating them, taking care of them, etc. But would you feel comfortable opening a shop and calling yourself a vet? If not would you want them to award you a degree based on your life experience? I could see them saying hey this guy could pass this class without taking it, giving you a test and letting you slide on that part but requiring you to do the rest.
I'm a pretty good pot-stirrer. Maybe I could get a culinary arts degree!

Well, when someone makes a special plea or provides a CV with academic credentials, that person is making an argument themselves - and "argument from authority" - they are making a claim that they are an "authority" to some degree on the matter under discussion based upon the degrees and other awards that they hold.
So far, the men whose arguments are under discussion lately have come up short when it comes to the degrees they have touted.
There are many others who have been discussed recently - Talmadge French, DKB and many others. These guys with authentic degrees, however, don't seem to make the sorts of outrageous claims that others with "exaggerated" degree credentials have made.
One exception - in my own observation - has been Arlo M. He does hold a valid and earned doctorate in chemical engineering from an accredited university. He has however made the most outlandish and unreasonable claims with regard to the creation/evolution debate. He peddles claims that most of the Young Earth crowd abandoned decades ago.
All of the rest of the guys making outrageous claims all have exaggerated their credentials.
He therefore enrolled Charles Darwin at Christ's College, Cambridge in 1827 for a Bachelor of Arts degree as the qualification required before taking a specialised divinity course
Darwin's cv from wiki.
So the heavy duty degree in divinity makes him a better preacher than any of these Pentecostals.
He also is not a scientist. Charles Darwin lied in the Voyage of the HMS Beagle writings. He was Not the ships naturalist. You have to be A medical doctor to be the naturalist. He was a medical student dropout.
Darwin was not a scientist. He was a fiction writer. Story teller.
Alberto Gore is puffing himself up as a scientist also.
Baron you are a mocker and a scoffer! A tadpole yelling at a butterfly!
How many revivals have you preached? How have been healed under your ministry? Have you been resurrected from the dead? Have you traveled worldwide with the Message?
I am tired and so done with the Beattitudes, I am just going to grab a bull whip and whoop your arse!

For a mere $2500 I will be happy to send you a diploma declaring you a Master Chef. Just send me your credit card info and I will process that first thing next week.

More Ananias and Saphira cow bell, please.
You are right on Dan. Tadpoles like me shouldn't be yelling at that butterfly (is that a reference to the way he prances across the stage?). I should just ignore all the lies that have been told in the name of Jesus.
I think your response is the only defense they can mount, and I also think your comparison to Branham is dead on, and a bit scary.

Branham was easy to excommunicate because he fellowshipped the "enemy" in his interdenominational meetings.
