I believe this particular logical fallacy is called "the appeal to authority".
By the way, theologians have PHD's also. Does that qualify them to decide for everyone what is correct or incorrect?

Dont be dense. I was pointing out that nearly two hundred years and thousands of scientific papers, experiments, etc back up what this p99 genius is trying to overturn. Creationism doesnt hold water in the scientific community because it isnt even science. It is dullards misunderstanding and mischaracterizing of the work people have put into these subjects and have been studying in far greater detail and who have vastly more knowledge than some asshats that just happen to browse answersingenesis one day.
If I need surgery I go to a surgeon. I dont ask joe-bob down the street what he thinks are the risks of a appendectomy because he hasnt studied for a large part of his life trying to acquire knowledge in that field. Joe-bob has never operated on someone just as I doubt a single person arguing against evolution has above a high school eduction on biology if even that. They lack knowledge and you need knowledge to have a intelligent answer.
