Like "pre-Adamite" science? Those soulless beings who wandered around unaware of a "Garden of Eden" which was protected by an invisible shield wherein an immortal man and woman were waiting to "fall" to usher in physical death into the world? A world that already had death...except in the spaceship of Eden? That science?
Are engineers generally considered to be scientists? I believe that bcspace has elsewhere stated that he is an engineer (I have no idea what kind of engineer he is). By that definition, William Schryver would be a scientist too (he is a software engineer).

Does a college dropout who programs qualify as an "engineer"?

Perhaps it is somewhat analogous to the term sanitation engineer?
"Any over-ritualized religion since the dawn of time can make its priests say yes, we know, it is rotten, and hard luck, but just do as we say, keep at the ritual, stick it out, give us your money and you'll end up with the angels in heaven for evermore."

The only thing Schryver has engineered is a massive and unmerited ego.

I'm assuming this question is directed at me. The answer is: none. Unlike you, I respect intellect and education, not weaseling sophistry.

BC,
Real scientists would be tempted to turn in their scientist union card if they really believed that you are (or ever were) a scientist.
(I count myself among them.)
Doubt it. Real scientists recognize the difference between their personal beliefs and their conclusions about the science and the science itself. The fact that you don't seem to understand this tells me you likely aren't a scientist by any stretch of the imagination.
